And yet people continue to smoke.

Despite the massively accumulating evidence.

Original article:

NYT Report:

Addiction is a psychological disease. I fail to understand why we are not treating it on a war-footing - or even the same footing as several other relatively milder contagion.

Why are cigarette companies even operating without paying for the health insurance of everyone on this planet? (well... shared equally by alcohol companies and arms and ammunition companies).

To every smoker I know. Please try and quit. At this point, I will be sorry if you die, but I sure as hell won't forgive you if you force the repercussions of your disease on your family, friends and neighbours, knowing well the certainty of this happening.

Looking back...

I just ended up on my own post from almost 4 years ago for the same question I had 4 years ago. Maybe its proof that one never changes inherently.

And I obliterated my FB account just like I shooed away my twitter page all those years back. There is something so indeterminably creepy about FB's security implementation. I am just not on board with it.

On a related note, I don't write for leisure anymore. I sometimes wonder if this is making my general writing more unimaginative.

"Healthy Smoker"

It cracks me up when I read studies that describe their population as "healthy smokers".

All smokers are clearly mentally sick. How is this "healthy"?

Healthy smokers, my foot.

These people

The spring has hardly begun, temperatures are a perfectly pleasant 17 degrees C and some idiots in my flat building have already switched on their A/C.

Is it surprising that this country consumes the most amount of electricity in the entire world?

Oh and I also hope whoever is smoking outside drops DEAD right now. No one likes you. You are a menace to non-smokers.

Just say no.

I woke up today morning and there was a small message scrolling on the top bar of my android phone

>> just say no

I went into work and the first thing I know someone is guilt-tripping me about not helping out in some random project that I am not even committed to or care about or have time for.

I practiced my ignore-stare and unconsciously said no.

No. You cannot take me for granted. You cannot take my time for granted.

As I walked home, I could smell the spring flowers blooming, hear the geese squawking and woodpeckers pecking... and best of all, there was silence from usual guilt-ridden little whiny voice that derails me and let people just walk all over.

Thank you, S. Spring is here.
