Take on the Smoker

OMG Facts (@OMGFacts)
One-third of the world's smokers are Chinese, amounting to a smoking population greater than the entire population of the United States.

There are a lot of surprises when you wake up in China but when I read that a third of all the world's smokers are Chinese I was not at all surprised.   I swear that every single dude in this country smokes about a pack of butts per hour which compared to breathing in the smog might actually be safer. 
It is as if people have decided to use a Marlboro in place of a face-mask, probably because they are cheaper.   Nowhere in the world is smoking more prevalent that in Asia, every Korean smells like an kimchee covered ashtray, every Japanese guy reeks of tobacco and 12 year old panties and every guy in China has teeth which are so tarnished by smoke that you think you are staring at a post-it.  In
China people smoke in restaurants, in shops, in cars, on streets and you honestly feel like you are walking around like PigPen.  

We don't do everything right and there are definitely issues limiting our personal responsibilities and freedoms which is something I sometimes really grapple with bit when you consider the health risks to the non-smoker, it seems almost asinine that there is opposition at all

Ever notice who are the only people who still smoke in the USA?  The poorly educated hicks and the bratty kids of the rich and honestly I am happy with the natural selection that will inevitably occur because of it

Why should the health of my kids be out at risk because some hillbilly high-school dropout doesn't have the personal fortitude to kick his nicotine addiction.
