Smoking Rant

This will probably piss some of you off. I don't care. I like smoking photographs, I find them sexy. And I like the smell of most tobacco products. Pipe tobacco is one of my favorite smells. That's right, I'm not on the "i hate people who smoke" bandwagon.
Imagine if you applied that attitude towards gay people or the like. You can't hate them for what—or who—they do and be PC so why hate people who smoke, if it's the activity you disagree with.
"I hate smoking, it is so gross!" Really. hmm. Have you tried it? Do you really think it's that gross if so many people do it? Sometimes it's nice to puff on something. (And no that wasn't a Puff the Magic Dragon reference. For those of you who know what I'm telling you I'm not insinuating).
And this whole public ban on smoking thing is one step closer to fascism* (thanks for the correction Chief Hunts in Robe). Let the people smoke if they want to! And don't give me that "but, Naomi, second hand smoke..." I don't care. No. Stop. Right now. That hasn't been proven.

The End.

  1. Not so much communism as fascism. The government that controls what goes into your mouth will soon control what comes out of it. And, of course that is already the case. Keep up the blogging—you're doing great.

  2. You should see the crap I got on facebook for posting that same note. Personal stories as arguments and applying specific cases of second-hand smoke caused cancer to the general population of lung cancer victims.

  3. Don't forget to mention that smokers are evil people, with substandard morals and intelligence. You know, like Churchill and C.S. Lewis.
