Good question asked by Biggie
.
Waise, ndhpndy, it takes one to know one. The last 4 years of my life, most of my good friends, colleagues, room mates ... girl friend even have been smokers!! By now, I can assuredly tell you that I must have been exposed to the more dangerous secondary smoking. And umpteen number of times I have asked them, chided them, begged them as well to give it up. But, they cant ... so, I tried it ... a couple of times. Tell you what, it DOES make you more alert ... the immediate nicotine release is there ... you cant help it.
Put yourself in somebody's shoes who is doing back to back nightouts for days on, high stress levels ... one
sutta and the tension vapourises like the smoke which emanates from the ciggy. Soon, it becomes a habit, had dinner, have to smoke ... long meeting, have to smoke, exams going ... have to smoke. It then manifests from a behavioral tendency to an addiction, where you have to smoke to get out those jitters.
Also, if they want to quit smoking, it cant be done instantaneously, it has to be done as a gradual process. I think even smokers suffer from cold turkey if the cigarette is taken away from them in one go. As for as the government is concerned, how can you expect them to put a ban on this product. Just imagine what will happen if such a law is passed into the market ... companies will go down who are into the distribution, production of this product. The financial implications will be very high, all for the cost of what? The cost of
taking away the choice of a smoker to smoke or not legally.
Imagine some other forum, where a smoker would say ... my individuality is being trampled on by the government
.
So eitherways your govt. is being blamed ... might as well earn that money then
