cigarettes
2007-10-02
As an ex-smoker, I must say I find the preachy moralists and the secondhand-smoke hysterics to be a genuine embarassment. I quit for entirely personal reasons, and one thing I've pledged from day one is not to be one of those ranting ex-smokers. I admit, it's easy for me to be humble in this instance. I've quit several times before, only to lapse back. But I've always recognized this as my choice, and never blamed anyone for it. I still find many of our nation's anti-smoking laws to be highly illiberal and reactionary, and am sometimes tempted to smoke just out of spite. Which is probably why I'll continue to enjoy a good cigar now and then, even if I manage to keep cigarettes behind me for good this time.[ Back to top ]
