I'd better make this one snappy for, for a change. No long rants this time!
Basically: down with smoking. Down with tobbacco companies, down with companies that are supported by them, companies that support tobbacco companies, people who smoke around non-smokers who wince and cough and wretch in the presence of smoke, down with shops that sell underage children cigarrettes, etc.
Sure, smoking is a personal choice, but as soon as it effects other people, that's when it annoys me. Although it also annoys me that anyone should MAKE that personal choice! I cannot thinkg of one single GOOD reason to take it up. That's just my personal opinion.
Why does the government allow a product which is both addictive AND detrimental to one's physical wellbeing (sometimes fatally) to be so readily available in so many shops?
They may as well sell teabags containing fine lead powder and cocaine.
Hmm, I'd better patent that one....

I feel the same way about cars.
