Campaign Has Smokers Listening to Smoking's Victims

[Aristus]

5. Why the HELL are people still smoking???

Ask any medical provider what diseases he or she hates the most, and you will probably get the answer: "the preventable ones."

Nobody, but nobody has an excuse for continuing to smoke. Not even the oldest people. I've heard it said that "In my day, we didn't know it was bad for you!"

Bulls**t! You had radio back in your day, right? Ever hear a radio news report of a catastrophic fire somewhere? And the reporter is on the scene, trying to get the story?

"What killed them, Chief? Was it the flames?"

"No, it was smoke inhalation."


Every single damn DAY, I see the horrible effects of smoking upon the human body. And I'm sorry to say I'm running out of compassion for those suffering the most. Every time I see someone lugging around a canister, and he has a cannula up his nose, all I can think of is "Oh, now you want oxygen??? You could have had it for free all those years when you were voluntarily sucking in carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and every chemical lung irritant known to industrial science!"

People, please don't smoke. Don't do it.

All you DU-ers who smoke: I love you all. Please don't smoke...
