itsy-bitsy irritation




Remember that friend of yours who’s been chain-smoking since he was 9 but finally quit the stick this year after the government decided to print pictures of funky foot gangrene and blood soaked foetuses on cigarette boxes? No? Me neither. We get it, smoking is bad. Smokers don’t need macabre images of the potential damage they are inflicting upon themselves to remind them that smoking is indeed a bad, bad habit. It’s just annoying. Will power won’t jump out of a gory image. Kudos to the government for increasing the sales of cigarette cases though! You know what bothers me more than second hand smoke? It’s the amount of disgustingly obese people I see dragging their weight around at 10 meters per hour, sweating profusely at all times, breathing like 40 year old diesel trucks. If the health authorities are so deeply concerned with promoting wellbeing and good health, why don’t they stick these photos on Big Mac boxes :
