This fine stupendous week we are supposed to write a short response to an article that we read in our Allen and Bacon english book. So I read an article by a slightly deranged lady about smoking.
I didn’t understand this article(big suprise). Yet I think it was talking from a point of view that I somewhat agree with. One that hates environmentalists. In this article this lady seemed to do everything that she could to insult or bring down the environmentalists. Everything from being sarcastic to straight out saying that the environmentalists were stupid. Well not exactly but pretty close. It was awesome. She also had quite an attitude towards the situation that I found quite comical.
One thing that I did not agree with is the fact that she was pretty much endorsing smoking. This is one habit that I find to be disgusting. I am not critisizing anyone that smokes, because I have many friends who are chain smokers themselves. I find it a disgusting habit for the simple fact that it is something that people become dependent on. I believe that if you are dependent on something then it is not good for you. I believe that no one should be dependent on anything. At any given point a person should be able to pick up and move at a moments notice taking nothing with them. I believe that this should be the way things run.
The only exception to this rule that I can think of is committed relationships. I believe that even if you move you cannot leave behind either the relationship or the imprint of the relationship. Yet with smoking you are dependent on it. If you are not on it you get grouchy and shake and get headaches and nicotine cravings. Its not good all around.
The second thing that she insinuates is that the whole world should be open to smokers. I know for a fact that would be a bad situation if the whole world were filled with cigerate smoke. There are people like my friend who are alergic to cigerate smoke. Would that be morally right to permit people like that to get sick all the time and possibly die because you want a few minutes of pleasure from a cigerate?
Then there are the people who just can’t stand the smell. What about them? I don’t have a solution to this problem but I believe that we should all start coming up with a solution.
