Smoke Signals

I do miss the smoking laws in the US. Here, it is acceptable to get out your kretek (clove) cigarette and smoke it in close proximity to someone else, not usually worrying if you exhale in their face. Oh you feel like a smoke at the mall, why not? What about the teacher’s lounge…sure! How about on the steps of the school if you’re a student? On the weekends, hey, why not?! There does not seem to be a smoking awareness, although the cigarette ads abound with huge warnings including the perchance for “impotensi” that cancer sticks might cause. None of the guys that I know seem to be concerned. I just hope none of them have been smoking AND having free sex because that seems like a sure way to blunder down the “not-satisfying your wife path” (see Steve’s blog), But luckily, there are also some cures.
