Growing out of Bad Habits

Sunday, February 28th, 2010 @ 5:51 pm

When I read the words “a survey by the federal government” I felt rather amused. I’m rather tolerant of what other people do around me and I tend to see quite a bit, I think the numbers are a little higher. From what I’ve heard discussed, the idea of participation in “a survey by the federal government” would not be received very well. To be honest, governmental reports fail to inspire confidence in me, I feel like I can’t trust either side.

I have always been of the persuasion that our government has failed the younger generations in the anti-smoking war. Congress needs to take a stand and pick a date to represent the beginning of the end of tobacco usage in the United States. No one born after this magical date can have or use any tobacco product. Preventing them from using and becoming addicted is the key. The argument of denying their rights to kill themselves slowly seems mute in comparison to the consequences. I speak from experience.

Death In the Nation

For those addicted to the wicked week, let us who already smoke finish our lives out in peace – I’ll grow tobacco in order to continue smoking – the need and desire for a cigarette is entwined is the fabric of every cell in my body. There is no reason why someone who does not yet shouldn’t be protected from this fate. Suicide and assisted suicide are already against the law. By broadening the definition of suicide to include smoking cigarettes is not that great of a leap. We don’t think twice about the prohibition against handling a range of hazardous materials. No one born after that magical date may not legally smoke any cigarette product while within the borders of the United States. A simple idea with effective results which actually keeps the status quo.
