Smoke and mirrors

[caddyman]

Today is National No-Smoking Day.

As I am a contrary sod, I can guarantee you that if ever I manage to give up smoking before I end up pushing up the daisies, it will not be during the Health Fascists' equivalent of the Nuremberg Rallies.

In the meantime I intend to stoke up with extra vim today until I am stopped by a fall of soot.

That is all.

Well said. I make a point of doubling the tobacco intake today. The day I listen to the nanny state is the day I stop being me.

Ah, you cannot get more punk then that...

Well, there is some parallel related to eating meat on ash wednesday.
Which I did. Not out of blasphemy against the good book or anything else, but I'd be skewered if I had to rely on veggie fare to get me through the day.

And in lieu of that, what better way to stick it to Auntie Antonina then have a smoke inside in one's place of work.

That's the way to do it! We're banned in too many places now. Sometimes you just have to make a stand.

Damn right, amigo....

Fighting the power is the only way we'll conquer in a world full of hypocrites and goody-goody-two-shoed-goody-goody-two-shoed-goody-good-goody-good-goody-goody-two-shoed-nastyfolk.

Gah. Eat more meat.

So that's what those people were doing in the foyer of my college. I'd presumed they were trying to sell me rugby or Catholicism.

I didn't know there was a National No-Smoking Day.
Last year my friend told me about National Pot-Smoking Day, but that's a little different.

There is here in the UK, but may not be in the US...
