Of course, we are not ready for such drastic action. But if the governments of the world were honestly concerned about the welfare of their peoples, you’d think they’d conduct aggressive anti-smoking campaigns. Far from it! The tobacco industry is allowed to spend staggering sums on advertising. Its advertising is as insidious as it is dishonest. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lungs early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisemtns always depict virile, clean-shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke,even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great open-air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness, what utter nonsense!

Smoking should be banned in all public places like theatres, cinemas and restaurants. Great efforts should be made to inform young people especially of dire consequences of taking up the habit. A horrific in every packet of cigarettes that is sold. As individuals we are certainly weak, but if governments acted honestly and courageously, they could protect us from ourselves.
