Anti "Antismoking 2.0"

Smoking, people say, has become a social nuisance.It adversely affects the smokers’ kidneys, liver, lungs,intestines and what not! Moreover, it also affects badly,
the one who is physically close to the smoker(while the
smoker is smoking).He inhales the foul air; and the air, in
turn, damages his biological systems as well.

In the above paragraph, two points were focused upon. One, that smoking biologically hampers the smoker. Two,
smoking biologically hampers the one who is physically
close to the smoker (while he is smoking). Of the two, I, personally, am more concerned about the latter.

I, on a personal note, am NOT against smoking, except for the fact that it is harmful to others. I fervently believe
that A SMOKER SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO SMOKE
GIVEN THAT HE DOESN’T HARM ANYONE ELSE.

‘Smoking is injurious to health’ is mentioned on the
cigarette containers. It is true, beyond doubt, that it is
dangerous to one’s physical health. But, if smoking
satisfies a person’s mind, it would be greater than all else.
It proves to be a mental tonic for the smokers. It is an
irresistible temptation to the smokers.

“The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it.”


- Oscar Wilde

The highest pleasure obtained is out of self-satisfaction. If
the smoker is happy smoking in a way that it hampers no

one else, no one in the world should be able to stop him
(except Rajanikant :P). One should be a master of one’s
own life and should be allowed to do anything so far it
doesn’t create problems for others.

If smoking is banned, it would totally prove the below
statement to be true.

“Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.”

- Jean-Jacques Rousseau
