The President today signs anti-smoking legislation. No more candy flavoured cigarettes with promises of low tar and nicotine (What’s the point when it’s proven smokers of such cigarettes consume as much tar and nicotine as smokers of other cigarettes. No more marketing to kids.

The anti Obama backlash has folks suggesting we have the right to harm ourselves, which I agree with -but to be consistent the person with that point of view should also be gung ho for the decriminalization of other mostly but not entirely harmless drugs like marijuana, cocaine and exstacy.

The bit about not marketing to children is going to be interesting – there’s no better marketing to a child than the statement “you must be over 18″.

I wonder if the flavour ban is going to knock out clove cigarettes which were trendy once, or menthol cigarettes – which are very broadly popular (partly because they are less objectionable to smoke for some folks).

The curse of cigarette addiction can be a blessing in a way…?

You may have not had much to deal with in life to give you personal strength or character. Yes, it’s terrible stuff , poverty, disability, abuse and so forth. But those are the things that give a person strength and character if they prevail despite them. Those people born into happy loving families, that were popular in school and never faced personal tragedy – It’s so much harder to know you can prevail in life if you’ve never prevailed against anything else.

But anyone can get addicted to tobacco. And, get this – the addiction is hard core!. People strung out on heroin – it’s easier to beat a heroin addiction than a tobacco addiction!

So, if you are addicted to tobacco, and you beat that addiction, you know you can beat anything. You’re more powerful than President Obama! He’s weaker than you – still addicted!

Of course it only works if you manage to quit. Do it today!
