I love it. I'm going to take up smoking and quit using the inspiration from this painting. I'm that inspired.

It's PC to be anti-smoking.

[keltic 1]

it may be PC now... but it hasnt always been... and there are many folks who are truly concerned about the impact on health... forgetting the firsthand damage to the smoker themselves, and forgetting the damage of secondhand smoke, there is the direct increase in what ppl have to pay for healthcare (including nonsmokers)

Smoking is bad for you. You know it. I'm not trying to stop it though. I want more drugs legalized... not less.

Exactly my point.

Smoking is a behavioral issue which some argue increases health care costs. There are loads of behaviors that people have which can cause health problems.

It could be argued, for instance, that homosexual behavior causes health issues. But you wouldn't see a similar graveside scene over two homosexual lovers.

No I'm not anti-gay or lesbian. Yes I smoke. Readers may consider my two examples above to be unrelated. I don't think they are.

All I'm saying is that it's often considered 'OK' in today's culture for us to be minding other's peoples personal business and private lives, sometimes to the degree of legislation. I just don't think that's what a free society should be about.

Yes, obesity as well. Maybe we should put similar paintings on the ceilings of McDonald's!

Hmmm... it was just a funny pic no need to get all bent.

It's no secret that smoking is bad for your health, the health of anyone around you and the air we all breathe....

I have only recently stopped smoking after doing my fair share to contribute to pollution and rising health care costs... I just thought it was a funny pic
