I'm at work, and step outside for a little fresh air...but that seems hard to come by these days. I can't understand why a non-smoker has to walk so far to get a breath of fresh air, "fresh" air of course being using lightly in light of the quality of Atlanta's air to say the least. Regardless though, I should be able to sit on the ledge near the flowers and not feel my lungs are about to explode!
I think there should be a rule against such invasion, such devestation of my quality time with self. One should be able to take a moment for herself, step outside from the office elements, and take a big, deep breath that doesn't end in an inhalation of disgusting fumes.
I propose there be a law that requires smokers to stand a certain distance from a buliding's entrance... that's right, if you want to smoke you need to travel to do it! Why should I use my good, healthy lungs to go farther to find a spot for some decent inhalation? Since they're already bad, and their owners obivously don't care enough about their state to keep them healthy, take some extra steps and use those lungs to puff elsewhere, away from the doors, windows, and alleys that non-smokers frequent.
Of course I know there are two sides to every story, and avid smokers of years will undoubtedly have much to say about their need and committance to smoking. I, for one, could care less. Move it out, as far as your bad lungs will take you, or - here's a thought! - Quit! That would be pronunciation for the end of the world, though, huh? Ok, then, we'll roll with the first plea: Move it, Buster! So I can breathe! You won't need to for long if you keep that up anyway, right?
Excuse me for being harsh, but I'm not apologizing. I'm very serious this time.
Hilarious read. Might I add - the government can shut the game completely down if they'd stop allowing companies like R. J. Reynolds to manufacture and sell these "weapons of mass destruction."
