Smoking

I am a non-smoker, never have smoked, most likely never will, but there is nothing I despise more than the Smoking Ban, I hate it, I think it's the worst thing to happen to this country since Hitler, or maybe Chavs.

I hate the Smoking Ban not for the smokers sake, but for my own selfishness! Imagine, if you will, you are in a pub/bar/club in the middle of a heated discussion, you can choose a topic as long as it is something you are passionate about; best drink, equality, who's hotter Natalie Portman or Scarlett Johansson (comments on that please), anything! Now imagine that during that debate your smoker friend(s) decide the need a fag, they have to get up, leave the pub/bar/club, go out have there cigerette in the cold, return inside, and then you need to inform them of the latest developments in your discussion before you can continue on. It's annoying sure, but OK, I can deal.

Pain in the ass point number 2! The Smoing Ban hurts more than it solves. Think about it instead of the smokers smoking inside pubs, dealing Lung Cancer out to just the alcoholics that stay there long enough to pick it up passively, the smokers are now outside, in the public domain. So, not only do they get you when you go in and out of the pub/bar/club, but at every other one you go past, your friends go past, and hell, for some of you your children go past. Is that good for us? I'm not so sure.

The real problem is there are to many health freaks out there that have influenced this law. They complain about anything that is a tad unhealthy, too much sleep, too little sleep, smoking, food (all I eat is junk food and Crunch Corners and I'm sitting pretty at 127lbs which I have been for several years now, so we can all ignoge our GDAs). These people are a plague! They complain about a tablespoon of salt saying it'll prolong your life by a year, YEAH RIGHT! It is also these people who complain about over-population, yet if you make people healthier they will live longer! Ergo, there will be a population problem with older people living longer, and chavs having children like no-ones business, not enough homes to accomodate them, on a property market that's starting price is ever increasing, it seems hopeless for some average student like me to get a job in the ever competitive world, get enough money to get on said property ladder and live happily ever after. Stop being so obsessive about everyones' health, let them live their lives, eat what they wanna eat, smoke if they wanna instead of using NHS funds to help smokers, if they wanna quit they can do it themselves! I yearn for a simpler time when food was salty, had addatives, and pubs smelt of smoke, a smell I'm personally quite fond of.


That's all for now folks, just one last piece on business and that is awarding last post No Prize award, which goes to Oliver Kendal for his idea of a tattoo or adult convention, which personally I believe is a wonderful idea!!

This weeks No Prize will go for the best justification of their choice of either Natalie or Scarlett, ooooor another good reason why the smoking ban sucks!!

This blog is primarily used as a method of assessment for my university course. That being the case, I do ask that you be as honest as possible with all critique in your comments, and if i ask for reader input, you do respond. I won't know who you are if you don't but for the sake of it being a threat, I do and I will hunt you down!!! *EVIL LAUGH!!*


OK, first order of business, a possible field trip! The criteria, "A suitibly bad place or event" the module is called "Being Bad" after all! So my suggestion would be Vagas, Amsterdam or some other place where disreputable practises take place legally. Alas though I believe these suggestions are far to monetarily excessive for the average student and ergo have the likelihood of not occuring, any suggestions my fine readers, I'll attempt to bring them up in the future. A much sought after "No Prize" award shall be given to the best contribution.

Well thats all for now folks....
