I HAVE THE RIGHT TO GO UP IN A CLOUD OF SMOKE! I DO!


Hey there world. Now, I went to the coast on holiday and I had a blast. No question. But there was one little niggling thing that hit me while I was down there; the Tobacco Bill is a crock of shite. Lemme explain:
• The Bill says you cannot smoke in public areas i.e. schools, offices, hospitals, government buildings, factories etc. except in designated ‘smoking areas’, right?

• The Bill also states that any designated ‘smoking area’ in a bar or restaurant should be at least 50 yards away from the non smoking areas.

Now, the bullshit is, I was at a resort where the bar is on the beach. There is a constant stiff breeze blowing, the gaff smoke goes poof. It will not affect anyone else. But I’m not allowed to smoke there. I have to go down to the actual beach to light up. The beach is all of 10 feet away. See my point?

The penalties are stiff! Fines range from Ksh. 50,000 to Ksh. 3 million. I’m thinking, ‘WHAT?!’ getting busted with a stash of weed (illegal) will cost me a G for the cop and I still keep the reefer, why am I paying 50K for a gaff (legal, supposedly) and stand the chance to go to jail for ati 5 years? I mean what the fuck?

And Dr. James Nyikal, you are a punk ass bitch. Go eat a dick. Why do I say this? Because this guy has a personal vendetta against ciggies. What did they ever do to you? Kill a friend/relative of yours? This motherfucker is out to get us! He is behind all this crap we now have to take. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for banning public smoking in streets and places like that, but not in pubs, man. Come on! I need a gaff and a beer. This Bill needs to be relooked at with a fine toothed comb and perused with a microscope. Wait, that’s backwards.

Dr. Nyikal, be good to me, or you just might find that CIGARETTE SMOKERS ARE HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH.
