Day 147: Smoking Kills


We live in a day and a society where everything has to be p.c. (politically correct). Even things that are obviously dangerous and bad, like smoking, cannot be accurately labeled for what they truly are--killers.

So, the other day I laughed when I saw how all the tobacco products here are labeled. Rather than saying, “smoking may be dangerous to your health...” or whatever it says on the Surgeon General’s warning, they just say it like it is: SMOKING KILLS.

Maybe they were imported from the UK because thats what they all say here, sad fact is though it still doesnot stop people from buying them, but means no one can blame the manufacturers when they get ill

Hi Justin. We're making a cake for Joe's birthday (a litte late but worth the wait). We know that two layer chocolate cakes won't kill you, right? Enjoyed the blog and message.
Love,
Mom and Dad and Joe and Tena and Brooklyn
