Smoking is a subject that will forever be controversial. I for one choose not to smoke. I say that not to say that I disagree with smoking but to emphasise a point, that people should be free to choose. People are educated and equipped with the knowledge to make an informed decision on whether or not to smoke. Everyone is aware of the many health risks that are associated with smoking. We are exposed to the horrific images of the ravages of smoking and constantly reminded of how addictive nicotione actually is. The information is available and the decision is there to be made. Everyone knows someone who smokes. Someone who has consumed all the information about the effects of smoking and decided that smoking was the thing for them. Good for them I say! To all the people confronting the British weather on the pavements outside of drinking establishments across the nation I salute you! I salute you for making a choice. For having the conviction to 'do you' in the face of adversity. Perhaps it may be regarded by some as 'being bad'. But is it not good to have the choice to be bad??
