Academia Catavencu - The anti-tobacco arguments are dust in the wind 

Satirical weekly Academia Catavencu writes in their current issue about the current Romanian regulations adopted regarding smoking in trains and various public places. Nicotine might stimulate the brain activity, but as a smoker I cannot understand at all the anti-smoking hysteria, and I wouldn't even if someone threatened me to burn me with a cigarette. You are aware of the fact that we smokers acceded to the European Union faster than the rest starting this week. How did our fast accession happen? Well we acceded to the Union as we were kicked off trains, airplanes, train stations, parks and even the toilets we used as a place to smoke a cigarette in peace when we were shy high school students and we experienced our first cigarette. . . .

if the Americans give up half of their heavy industry and they will practice the mass production of the electric car, then I will quit smoking. Did you know that a day spent in a heavy polluted city such as New York is the same as smoking a pack of cigarettes? . . .

there are other causes which are infinitely more pressuring and are worth at least half of the zeal one puts in the fight against tobacco. Just think: wars, poverty, drugs.
