Ban smoking at Bus Stops !

I wish they would ban smoking at big city bus stops. Just as if I were in a public building , I am confined -for up to a half hour! - in the " toxic " area of the smokers.

And what PIGS they are, these smokers. What a mess they make of our city - the butt bums !

Headline : " Suit seeks billions from tobacco industry ". The butt bums also never gave a damm about anybody either. I have nothing but contempt for the sick and dying nicotine addicts who now want big bucks from the tobacco industry.


Like alcohol addiction, nicotine addiction is really just a character disorder. You can quit if you want to. You simply must value something else in life more - like good health, a sound mind in a sound body.

I never expected the tobacco industry to educate me about their product. In high school- in the dear 1950s - I read a " Reader's Digest "article : " I am Joe's Lungs ". And I have never smoked . Of course the snobby teachers frowned on the "Reader's Digest". It was a wonderful magazine to read in study hall .
