"SMOKING IS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH ", in a font size that almost overshadows the brand name is what greets you every time you have bartered
close to a tenth of your day's wage with that friendly vendor for that packet which contains your elixir of life . I mean....... " What the f@$k ? " . Do you not deserve those few minutes of peace , that those quint words shatter even before you've lighted up .. ?? Should you not have your reward for having spent those horrifying fifty minutes in Mr.Whatsover's class? Do you not deserve that one little break , from your work , from your boss , your girlfriend or whatsover? Finally , do you not have the right to smoke ,or do whatsoever with something you've paid for , in peace ?
Add to top it all , a "health" minister who feels cigarettes have to be banned . Come October 2 , a law that virtually defines where you "Can" smoke will be put in place .Add to that a sequence of poorly conceived and directed advertisement campaigns that are mercilessly repeated in between the already nerve shattering "stuff" they put up on Doordarshan ("I'll write about them next )
1.An even greater number of people die every year in plane crashes , road accidents , electric shock , train derailments etc etc . Ever seen a warning at the railway station saying "Traveling by train is injurious to health " ?
2.After having pumped tar,nicotine and smoke for ages , are not the lungs of a chain smoker better adapted to survive in the polluted cities of the new world?
3.If your forefather's had not smoked the hell out of their lungs, who do you think would have sponsored that lousy cricket team of ours
4.How could India control its population , if all the people who die of lung and mouth cancer ,well....do not die ??
5.Imagine Fidel without his cigar ...... thats half the job done for the Americans
6.What would Shah Rukh Khan do during cricket matches ? watch the game ??
7.Would you ever venture out of the college gate ?
8.RGV's actors would have to do better ...after all, what would cover their faces ?
9.What would happen of the 3 million people who depend on the tobacco industry ?..what about the doctors and the pharma companies ?
10.How would the one's who don't smoke stand a chance in admissions, jobs etc , if the ones who do ,don't make way .....
P.S: I don't smoke .....
