Anti-smoking laws? Pro or Con?
Con. I don't bloody care if you think smoking can kill you. Walk out the door and a car could kill you. Fly in a plane and the damned thing could crash. Should we ban both cars and planes, then? Won’t fare much better with horses and boats. Horses can throw you and boats can sink. Then there’s any number of things that could kill you just by walking. Let’s ban lightening! Inclement weather! But not unhealthy food. Never that. Keep what the people love and ban everything else they find disagreeable.
I’ve heard the reasons why I should quit. Several times. I’ll take my chances. That’s what I do, and damn if other people shouldn’t do it, too. You've got to accept the dangers out there, otherwise there’s no point in living.
