Smoking abolished?

摘要

And thank you,too,Santa,for the latest advance in eliminating that most perverse of human habits,smoking.Several State governments have declared their intention to extend smoking bans to outdoor areas of cafes,theatres and railway stations.5 Since Sir Walter Raleigh's infant colony of Virginia introduced tobacco smoking to England to pay the expenses of colonisation,7 non-smokers have had to put up with the inconvenience and health risks of this disgusting habit.Yet I note again your habit of teasing when you introduce environmental benefits - last Sunday at the Spiegeltent Cafe in front of the Victorian Arts Centre the only table my wife and I were able to get was alongside two gents smoking like chimneys.Unhealthy-looking characters,but one did have a cycle helmet!
