Even though I think smoking is a pretty disgusting habit, I feel as though the government has been spending far too much time on this vice. Nationally, we've been subjected to ads that go so far as to claim that smoking puts you at a 1 in 2 chance of dying. In the ads, you'll see the spokesperson lounging in a bathtub with a toaster perched on the edge or outside in a lightning storm flying a kite. They'll say: "ya think this is stupid!? Well if you smoke, ....yadda yadda yadda."
I mean, sure smoking is bad for you, but I'm ashamed of a government who think that they can use distorted statistics in such a blatant way. In general I feel that the recent blitz over the last 2 years has been unjustified.
On the other had, being a jazz musician, it means that a lot of my haunts have become smoke free, which is amazing for me as a non-smoker.
