World No Tobacco Day. May 31st 2009 May 23, 2009
Hmmm so an initiative from the Ministry of Health is encouraging people to give up the use of tobacco products on this day.

Step in the right direction I guess.

You mean you still smoke?

I gave up on 13/07/98 @ 17:30hrs in Abu Dhabi, haven't had a puff since.

What good is stopping smoking for one day…… and then going back to it the next day??????

Do reckon any smoker will stop for a day just because the MOH asked them to do so…. I doubt it!!!!

But it’s still a good message nonetheless…… even if only one person, Chocs, gives it up for one day!!!

Smokes are sooooo cheap here compared to Australia. Probably 1/5 the price of what I'd pay back home.

They keep raising the price there to deter smokers, and I think it's working. Think I will quit when I go home.

TJ, I think you miss the point. It's meant to be a starting point for people to give up, so that day is day number 1!

Stopping smoking would be the best gift you would give yourself. I don't see why people find smoking pleasurable anyway. Clothes, hair, mouth, skin stinks, cat bum mouth after a few years, crows feet around the eyes, yellow teeth... cancer, lung disease...

You dnt know wat u missing out out.

The smoothness of a puff, the exhalation of smoke, what a sweet release. An oasis of peace and calm amidst a world of chaos. The celebration of the moment, encapsulated by the languid charm of smoking a Cigar. The intimate detailing, the perfect rolls, the musky smell of coffee with nicotine, the perfect blend. The joys of smoking my friend, that's what it is!

Right now, late at night with some beers in me... cigarettes are awesome.

Tomorrow morning, when I'm coughing my lungs up... cigarettes are terrible.
