Cigarette Butt Bums -2

The stupid looking man at the bus stop was yelled at by the disgusted

RIPTA driver : " Don't blow your smoke into my bus ! "

      While the traffic light was still red, the nicotine nitwit puffed

away on the precious remains of his cigarette - for him a basic necessity

of life.

     I suspect that the brain of the heavy cigarette smoker -under

microscopic examination- will look as repulsively rotten as his lung

tissue.

    The Tobacco Road cretin tossed the drool covered butt onto the

sidewalk before boarding the Pawtucket bound bus - the original

inspiration for H.P. Lovecraft's " Horror at Red Hook ".

     There is a story  in the Providence Journal this morning that

will alarm environmentalists : " DEM's inaction endangering Rhode

Islanders "  ( Dec. 30 ) .

        It is about time we include those highly toxic cigarette

butts among the hazardous environmental wastes. Why is the cigarette

slob's habit of of carelessly discarding them EVERYWHERE not challenged ?

      Think of the millions of people who smoke a pack or two a day

and of the impact all those poisonous butts have on the eco-system!

    This nicotine addiction is as insidious as heroin addiction.

Cigarette companies survive on the LIE of advertising, associating

the filthy habit with the pleasant life.

      Tobacco company scientists MUST  routinely LIE UNDER OATH .And

so must their bought and sold lawyers - like Clinton persecutor, Ken Starr !

      But even on December 30, SPRINGTIME IS JUST A PUFF AWAY. Just

thought I should end this rather bilious letter on a cheerful note .
