Can anyone who has visited Spain recently imagine Spain without smokers? Infamy!
According to a recent issue of the International Herald Tribune Spaniards are not happy. The EU mandate that cigarettes come with such salacious labels as described in the article are causing scorn and disdain among many smokers.

They're also sending through internet new messages looking like those which advise things like these:

Rajoy fuma (Rajoy Smokes, he's the man who will follow Aznar on the PP)

Fumar mola (Smoking is cool)

Fumar asegura buenas timbas de poker y mus
(Smoking assure good poker and mus games)

Fumar (sobre todo mezclado) relaja un huevo
(Smoking (specially mixed) relax a lot)

Ya que no f***o que me joda el tabaco
(This is not possible to translate)

I think Joe Sambuca and other smokers suffering NY restrictions will enjoy

LOL

How silly.

Of course, nothing can be done for those drug adicts, but for making them think that they shoud try not to drug their children, or bother us ( a matter of sheer education), ..., with their smoke.

And these messages might disuade youngsters to become tobacco adicts.

Of Course!

Everyone break out their Psych. 101 textbooks. I know smoking is bad for myself and others so, instead of facing it and dealing with the issue I'll deny it (by buying designer carton covers!)

So lemme get this straight. You now have to spend money on the cigs AND on the covers?

This is only one more pressure on the bad conscience of the adicts, who know they are doing wrong but do not have the education, the guts or the strength to overcome their adiction even for some hour, even in front of babies , pregant women, ill people or workmates to whom they make them smoke the equivalent to several cigarrets along a day of work.

I don't know what is worse, thinking that they may be rude enough to make us swallow that horrid smell, which makes me furious, or that they cannot help it because they are ill with withdrawal symptoms, which makes me sad for them.

This measures slowly cange people's mind and make they realize that this selfish people are poisoning their children and their mates, and that they are to blame. And this is the right direction, because I still remember twenty years ago, when I had to "enjoy" that damn*d smell in buses, trains, ..., everywhere, and if you dared to compain of this agression, you were looked at like if you were crazy, and despised, and it could even lead to an argument or a quarrel.

Slowly, slowly, people is getting conscious on who is agreding who, and why.

By the way, I am very glad that they spend money on covers, Ionly regret that they don't need to be of platinun so that they would need to spend more.

Imagine that somebody who likes to smoke Marihuana does it, but half the effect it produces in him also was produced in you, since you are breathing it too.

Bad, ¿no? The, why do we have to be more exposed to cancer, lung illnesses, ans that terible stink when somebody smokes by us? If it was only him the damaed it would be ok. I won't complain if somebody smokes in the fields. As long as I don't have to suffer it, I don't mind what tehy do.

All I have to say is I'd smoke free second-hand Marijuana smoke anyday.

By the way, me too! But some might not, or me if I was going to drive afterwards.

Personally, I don't care if someone smokes, just don't do it in my car or house or when Im having my meals! Cigarette smoke doesn't smell good, it stinks...people that smoke smell...their breath, hair, clothes. Even when they shower, they still smell of smoke. A big, BIG, turn-off for me is a woman that smells of cigarettes! Smokers and people that don't bathe have the same problem...they can't smell themselves to notice that they are offensive to others.

Like I said, I have nothing against smokers. After all, Im not the one that smells, has a hacking cough, gets the jitters every 5 minutes, or can't taste or smell my food. Don't you just love it when a women's hair smells like stale cigarettes, her clothes smell like she's been standing next to a fire pit, and her teeth are brown when she smiles? Man...am I getting turned on!

That's what I'm saying. GO ahead and buy the covers...waste more money who cares. Not me!
