When I see someone smoking, I wonder why. Studies and experience has shown us that smoking will lead you to an early death. I could care less if you smoke. In fact I think you should do what makes you happy. I guess your Marlboro is my KFC Double Down. Instead of packing a lip, I’m dipping a chip. It is interesting to me how society has treated the smoker and it makes me wonder.
We have made the smoker the pariah of society. Its kinda sad to see grown adults hudled outside curbside, in all types weather puffing away. Remember when people smoked at the movie theatre or in the grocery store. I remember my doctor as a kid smoking. Now we have decided to push them to the fringes of society. Many places are considering banning smokers from public parks. In the near future, all smokers may be re-located to Greenland.
I wonder if someone holding a chili cheese dog and Super Big Gulp will soon be forced to eat in seclusion. Will the fast food patron be the new smoker? “Hey man, smoking will kill you.” to “Excuse me sir, you can’t eat that in here."
I guess that's the motivation to change. I don't want to have to eat my meal in a separate room at a restaurant. Once they've chased the smokers away, they are coming for me. The new pariah.
