While still in a hazy stupor after my afternoon nap today, I had a thought provoking vision. We all hear about smokers with lung disease who sue tobacco companies for massive amounts of money when they themselves made the choice to smoke. All this smacks of irresponsibility and passing the buck, traits which I associate with smokers. Because of their despicable habit and this, most of them disgust me. So, what would happen if the tables were turned?
Since most smokers (in Malaysia at least) light up regardless of location nor occasion, non-smokers are often exposed to their toxic fumes. Obviously, these toxic fumes have an effect on them too, creating sickness, and thus forcing the afflicted to pay needless medical fees to get well. It's not like smokers do not do it on purpose too. Because most of them arrogantly ignore what ever pleas to refrain from smoking, it can be said that they are purposely bringing harm to people. I mean, when you beat someone up and send them into hospital, you are forced to pay their medical fees right? The same goes for this, and smokers should pay for the damage they cause, perhaps they should pay even more, for the damage is internal and the are such irresponsible retards.
Having said all that, all we need is a good lawyer and someone to be made an example of, and presto, we have a better smoking deterrent that the lame ass 'Tak Nak'! campaign.
