I was wondering how effective the Tak Nak! campaign has been. Well, the government dumped a lot of money into this anti-smoking campaign to educate the nation about this, you see. It's just some thoughts which came across my mind over the past few days hanging out with friends. If smoking is really so so so bad.. why would people want to smoke?
I have been thinking why smoking gives people such a negative impression. A sign of rebellion? Being defiant? Cool? Sexy? Equality between the 2 sexes? Argh, whatever. And a lady who smokes 'suffers' more comments from other people compared to a man who smokes. *Oh well, here comes some gender theories. I shall not dwell in it*.
Perhaps we are being a bit too judgmental about people who smoke. Aren't we?
"Girls shouldn't smoke," they said.
"She is so pretty and she looks good. But once I saw her smoking.. aww.. all my good impressions on her is gone," she said(he said).
"Eh, that fella is a Christian, right? Why la is he/she smoking?", someone said.
