The bizarre quote of the day would have to be the one I just found in today’s Herald Sun newspaper. In reference to a proposal to further restrict smoking in public places, and introduce “Public Substance Inhalation Rooms;” one smoker is quoted as saying:
“If I smoke I want to do it outside in the fresh air…”
Personally, I don’t mind where people smoke, so long as they:
- Don’t exhale near me
- Remove all ash, cigarette butts and rubbish
- Don’t stick the hot end into my clothes or skin
Judging by the sea of butts that surrounds every restaurant door in Melbourne, it appears as if the average smoker is the filthy pig that has always been presumed, and that they don’t consider cigarette butts to be litter.
