Wow, great article, I never really thought of it like that! By the way, this is a beautifully designed blog. As a smoker, though, I can't help but feel like smoking's going to be banned everywhere pretty soon! Luckily, smoking bans (and ridiculously high tobacco taxes) don't affect me (even though I smoke a pack a day) ever since I switched to electronic cigarettes! If this happens, you should too. Hell, even if it doesn't, you still should. E-cigarettes are much safer than regular cigarettes, and you can smoke them anywhere cigarettes are banned (bars, restaurants, even airplanes)! I found this blog that helped me figure out which brand of e-cigarette I should buy. If you're considering switching over, I hope this page helps you like it helped me: Green Smokes And here are some videos with information about how e-cigs work: You Tube - HealthySmokes Channel

Just increase the cigarette littering fines to an amount so absurd that the whole charade will end very fast. I’m talking fines like 1/4 of a monthly paycheck here.
Oh what’s that you say??? Is it too much? Is it outrageous? Well, better make sure you carry that cigarette butt to the nearest ashtray then! Thanks!

Also get rid of those heaters; if it’s cold, wear a jacket outside.

This is like saying that hot weather causes people to drown.

In hot weather, more people go swimming; therefore, more people drown. It is not hot weather, but careless swimming practices, that cause drowning.

Smoking bans aren’t bad for the environment. Smoking, and efforts to accommodate it, are.
