I have no idea where this lounge is, or where this photo was taken, or even who to give the credit to - my mom sends me these e-mails with these cool photos in them occassionally, and this was one of those. It's not that I don't have sympathy for how difficult it must be to quit. I do, however, want to spit nails every time someone makes the arguement that it's their right to smoke because they're not bothering anyone. When I think of all the costs involved with smoking-related illnesses - and the trouble we have getting funding for lung research because lung disease is percieved by so many as being "our fault" - I do tend to get a little hot under the collar. Come on - call a spade a spade - all of our bad habits, my chocolate habit included, cost the greater society. And no, I'm not opposed to the twinkie tax either. Perhaps it would help me stick to my diet.
