I can tell you exactly how disgusting such people smell coz everyday my driver used to smoke, until the day he got a cancer scare. leave him......even a brilliant journalist who I had always respected for his work turned out to be a chain smoker - black teeth, sunken eyes....and when he sat next to me during our office meetings, I used to be almost retching coz of the way he smelled of smoke and mint. the memory still brings a bitter taste to my mouth.
@blue....yeah...but still people smoke in public places, a point I raised with the IG of my city today. it is seriously so unhealthy! I see people smoking in the city plaza despite the ban, and there are old people, asthmatics, pregnant ladies, kids and babies around there........I just wonder about the future of those li'l ones! to be born with a greater cancer risk or blood diseases or even chronic bronchitis like I have...just because some people do not have any civic or common sense!!!
@green...educated ones are the worst somehow! maybe because they earn more and can buy more and think that they can get treatment more easily? or maybe because they can quote surveys that say 'drinking in moderation' is good for health.....and of course, they 'drink in moderation' only na...just li'l sips. *rolls eyes*
@ bold and you had to endure this?! how could he dare to smoke while you are in the car! seriously! if he was my driver i would fire him!
its hard to deal with someone who smokes in daily bases let alone if he is someone you live with!
do you believe that some people smoke inside their houses too, in front of their own kids and wives, its like they don't give a damn about the health hazards that they are making their families face because of passive smoking! and its simply because these men are so into themselves that they don't see beyond their own selfish needs
@ blue thats really bad and its so selfish of them! they have no right to endanger other people's health
but hey where i come from and in my home town they cant smoke and if you see someone smoking in a public place you can complain to authorities and they will stop him
@ brown yeah i have heard those lame explanations! but seriously who are they kidding? they are not fooling anyone but their own selves!
you know i have read an article some times about a study conducted in one of American universities in New York Times magazine that stated that people (both genders) who smoke might affect their genes too
like a man or a woman who smokes ( even before getting pregnant) their genes are affected so their babies might have greater health risks like Asthma ,chronic bronchitis, also they are more prone to flu and cold attacks, and over all poor health
the study also indicated that people who smoke eventually their IQ levels will decrease
