Lepers ... social outcasts ... silent killers.
Victimization ... bugger off and leave me alone to die in peace.
I started smoking when smoking was a Social Habit ... everybody around me smoked. There was NO indication then of the "problems" associated with smoking. The Government of the day either did not care or were covering it up in favour of the revenue that was levied on us.
Don't hide behind "you are polluting my air" crap either ... there is more **** in the air than me puffing on a ciggy.
Every person who smokes, is going to die
Every person who
never smokes, is going to die
Every person who is "overweight", is going to die
Every person who is
never "overweight", is going to die
Every person who uses illicit drugs, is going to die
Every person who
never uses illicit drugs, is going to die
Every person who drinks alcohol, is going to die
Every person who
never drinks alcohol, is going to die
Every person who fails to heed the advice of health advocates, is going to die
Every person who devotedly follows all the advice of health advocates, is going to die
Now the question comes ... since we are all going to die, no matter what precautions we may take ... is it justifiable for health advocates to
force people to conform to certain lifestyles which those advocates claim will maximize the length of a person's life?
Death is inevitable, but health advocates such as the anti-smoking industry claim that they are justified in using punitive pressures of various kinds to force people to conform to their definition of "a healthy lifestyle".
Eat Drink & be Merry! ... for tomorrow we Die
