SMOKING KILLS...


So says the Warning on my cigarette packet and I'm quite happy to acknowledge the fact that it does.
I'm not going to die because i choose to smoke at least twenty (and on occasions up to thirty or even forty) cigarettes per day.
I’m going to die because this vessel that i inhabit is not indestructible.
Many things are slowly killing me, the air i breathe, thanks to the fact that oxygen slowly rot’s everything that it comes into contact with.
The water i drink, thanks to all the chemicals that are put in it in the name of health and public safety.
The food i eat, thanks to all the E numbers, preservatives and genetic modifications that are pumped into the modern day food chain.
But i’m sure as hell aint going to give up doing these thing’s in the course of my daily life. that’d be just plain crazy.
Is there any need to put a Warning onto my packet of cigarettes? I think not.
I know that they are really bad for me.
They may fuck my lungs but they aint quite done in my memory yet so there really is no need to put a Warning on my pack.
What’s coming next?

sign’s on the front of buses?

Walking in front of this vehicle when it is moving at speed will kill you!

Warning notices on the edge of cliffs?

Jumping from the edge of this will kill you!

Declarations above power sockets?

Caution, inserting your fingers in here will cause electrical shock!

NO. and do you know why?

Cos it’s fucking obvious to even the stupidest person on the planet.
So why on earth do you insist that my smoking pleasure should be ruined by these Warnings that don’t need to be there in the first fucking place?
if i smoke twenty cigarettes a day in the space of a year i’ll have smoked over seven thousand of those demonic little thing’s.
but do you hear me whine and moan that they are killing me?

NO.
And do you know why i aint whining about it? cos i don’t give a shit if they’re killing me.

Buy Fake Fag stickers.
