pick your battles, carefully

i started watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and there was a PSA about ridding the world of cigarettes.


its all fine and good. a world without cigarettes is a beautiful idea. yes, i smoke. i will continue to do so until i do not want to anymore. i get the idea that people do not want to be subjected to second hand smoke and the odor involved. i would hate to suggest segregation at all, but let the smokers have their places and the non-smokers theirs. it would seem the most logical solution. instead of taking away everyone's free will to do what they please.

point being, taking away peoples right to choose what they want to do with their lives is something that no man, government or god has the authority to take away. know that smoking hurts the body in most irreparable ways. i Chose to do something that has a very likely chance of killing me. though, it is my choice to make. no on else's.

i suppose to be more concise about what my point is; arent there a lot larger issues to be handled? arent there much larger battles to be faught? arent there greater wars to be won? alternative fuels, global warming, needless war, broken hearts?

let people live and chose what they like. stop inflicting everyones opinion on others.


"we are meant to lose the people we love. how else are we supposed to know how much they meant to us?"
