Passive Smoking

Passive Smoking! Grrrrrr, these do gooders get on my goat! Some naive silly twits conducted a pathetic survey on 'childrens' smoking habits here in Cluj-Napoca and 'if' they smoked or 'not'. The interest was to look at 'passive smoking' affecting the poor little darlings lungs. The general outcome was yes it did and these poor mites ingested the equivalent of 20 cigarettes a day. (At this point, please take a bow and rest on your laurels) Now here is the good point you in all your wisdom and good intentions, including your own stupidity missed completely!

Exhaust Fumes! Yes, exhaust fumes, every time you get near a main road the smell is worse, the smell of them, plus unburnt petrol, are doing more damage to young lungs (as well  as yours) than all the passive smoking is doing. Next time you go out in the early evening, take a look at the traffic, especially in the beam of the headlights, FOG but it isn't, in fact it is something much worse than fog, much worse than passive smoking, it is SMOG! Our poor suffering children, (if not already, will be in the coming few years) are breathing it in everyday, so this pathetically stupid idea they are smoking 20 a day passively is a load of (unprintable) So add that 20 a day (cigs) to 20 a day (smog in the morning going to school) and 20 a day (smog in the afternoon coming home from school) and the unmeasureable gap when they have the gall to socialise in the world, brings the smoking habit (passive) to no less than 60 a day Next time you conduct a survey, please do it properly, involve those who don't wear blinkers, then you will be able to publish far more accurate results.

I totally agree, Boffin. I'm an - active, very active - smoker myself, and I've been soooooooooo many times blamed, segregated, cursed by holy-anger-driven non-smokers, whose cars produce daily more smoke than I could exhale in two month. And employers practice the all-newest form of discrimination in every single job offer: NO SMOKERS. So you may be drug-addicted, alcoholic, probably serial killer (what manic drivers already are), it doesn't matter. Just don't smoke!
I'd gladly quit smoking, the fine holy day when all manufactures, refineries, nuclear plants, coal mines and gasoline cars will become harmless. When I'll find myself to be the greatest, the only one pollution producer in the whole world. Until then, I feel  sorry for all of them poor nuts, who have discovered in my pack of cigarettes the main source of global warming. By the way, do you know about the ozone hole? According to the latest scientific data,  I MADE IT!
