Great American Smokeout is Horseshit
Today is the Great American Smokeout. Whoopty-friggin-do.. As a quitter, I think providing encouragement to other people who express interest in quitting is good, however, I don’t agree with the villifying tactics and the numerous quitting tips provided by organization “experts” who have obviously never been smokers.
Organizations such as the American Cancer Society and American Lung Association call for regulated personal behavior, and applaud efforts to regulate people smoking in their cars and their own backyards.
I’m made a few posts about ex-smokers becoming frontline SS warriors in the anti-smoking war, and often becoming more rabid and zealous than your usual “second hand smoke kills everyone” ninnys.
As a smoker, and now a non smoker, I am perfectly capable of making my own decisions thank you much.
