Its been a month and a half now since the Government only allowed smoking in designated areas.

Its up to them really what they feel like doing.
Of course it is of inconvenience to most smokers but its a matter of time that humans adapt to it.
Adaptation is part of human's nature.



Ok so what made me blog this up was after reading a letter article from one of the local newspapers.
I figured writing back to the papers to have my point of view seen.
But the chances may be too slim.


So anyway, i wonder why people are comparing smoking and drinking.
One ban is better than the other.
There is no way to compare.
Both are bad habits
And both are bad when overdoing it.
That is a fact. And people need to accept that fact.
Physically and scientifically.



But the thing is that why try to justify which ban is better.
Give it up.
I mean it just goes to show that when you fight for one or the other, you are probably a hard core smoker or drinker.
But not that i bother.
Can we just ACT and THINK more maturedly here please?
Rather than whine about what you can't have.
Isn't it easier to just make do with what we have?



So this writer said:
"Drinkers do not pollute the air everyone shares when they drink"


My word:Yeah.. like DUH~
But do i need to mention that air is gaseous?
And that in gaseous state, the molecular speed is faster than when it is in solid/liquid state
That it would also mean that the molecular energy is higher.

My advise:
Cant stand a smoker then dont stand next to one.



He said this too:
"Drinkers who are responsible usually do not resort to violent or lewd behaviour - and even if they do, it is attributed to the lack of self-discipline and not the alcohol"


My word:
Can i just knock your god damn head?
Attributes of lack of self discipline?
I thought the writer should have wrote "attributed to the lack of self-discipline DUE TO the alcohol"

I mean ouh my god!
What a flimsy arguement.
Wondering what is he using to think.

Do you know how i hate going to towns on weekends cos you would see some drunkards just at the side of the pavement vomitting away.
And it is only midnight.

Do you know how i hate to seat along orchard road cos you may never know when you smell of vomit.

Do you know how i hate knowing so many drunkard husbands coming home and end up beating up their wives. And sickeningly after that say sorry and have sex.
*roll eyes*

Do you know how i hate hearing people scream on top of their lungs and dont even know cos they are drunk

Do you know how i hate knowing drunk women being 'rolled' by men and wouldnt know how many men screwed her.

Do you know how i hate knowing a man who screwed a woman when he is drunk and wake up saying,"oh shit. she looks like a witch"

Do you know how i hate seeing drunkards being dragged by his friends and put him in a cab.

Do you know how ugly is it for a woman to get drunk.


Do you know how many drivers were caught drink driving?
Or how many who drink and drive but were not caught?
Or how many who drink and drive and killed/injured someone?


Think

Think how come this wasn't educated to the Singaporean society.
How come there were no labels pasted on liquor/beer bottle showing people

-dying of liver cancer
-dying of heart cancer
-victims of abuse
-victims of drunk-driving

how come?

Why show the extremes of gangrene and throat cancer and dirty gums and innocent foetuses when most people who die of smoking is due to the heart.



Ever thought of it?



Then i should try and write in the papers proposing for the Singapore governement to raise awareness on drinking as well.


Habits die hard.
So when both are just as bad, why not be fair?
