The smoking guns

If we go to a restaurant they will ask you, smoking or non-smoking section.
I will usually answer 'any empty seat/ table will do'

Pardons my slow and simple mind, I still did not get it till today as to the need to segregates .
Yes i could understand that a passive smoker is at the same risk of a smoker if not more. Since they are sharing the same ventilations and air- conditions , that would defeats the purpose . We
are all in the same boat, smoking or non-smoking area.

Minors are not allowed to buy cigarettes . Shopkeepers are at a dilemma here.If they don't sell the father will call and scold them, and if they sell the mother will call and scold them. Since there was no CCTV , they will sell and hope for the best.

Funny isn"t it? You could buy the heavily taxed stuffs but you are advise by the Surgeon Generals not to smoke it? Can buy but don't use it.? Why buy in the first place ? What are we suppose to do now? burn it ? Yes but don't inhale . My simple mind already lost it.

They say smokings is bad for your health .So does driving. More people died on the road drinking or sober .Almost 80% of the MVA is due to human errors.Others include mechanical failures, poor maintainace and structural designs.They should come out with a better design car, a fully automatics, not autamatics cars. A car that follow our voice commands.We just set the GPS from point A to point B , the car will move automatically without hitting any moving objects along the way.No steering or driver needed.Where is our pioneers when we needs them.We don't need speedier or louder exhaust or expensive F1 sport cars!

Another place where many people dies is the beds. But that does not stopped peoples going to bed every night, alone or otherwise.Beds should come with a disclaimers : Sleep at your own risk.

My friend fell from his chair and rolling on the floor laughing when I told him that I am a non-smoker. I am not so sure now...is smokings 'tahrim' ?


p.s the difference between fitrah and hypocrisy is that the latter is curable .

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri- Maaf Zahir dan Batin .
