World No Tobacco Day

May 31st, 2011

So today is World No Tobacco day?

Why?

What is that supposed to achieve apart from letting anti-smokers feel even smugger than usual?  Are they going to claim that millions of lives have been saved by it?  [Yes, they probably are]

Let’s do something slightly more constructive.

Let’s have a World No Computer Day.  Look at all those poor children who are brain-dead because of the nasty computer games.

Let’s have a World No Electricity Day.  Dangerous stuff, that electricity, especially in the hands of children.

Let’s have a World No Mobile Phone Day.  Just think of those nasty little radio waves frying your brain.  Research has shown that phones kill billions every day.

Let’s have a World No Food Day.  Think of all those obese children.

Let’s have a World No Transport Day.  Think of all those poor children being killed by passive cars.

World No Tobacco Day?

Go kiss my big fat hairy smokin’ arse.
