Goa leads the way, bans all tobacco products

Even as Maharashtra struggles to enforce its ban on the sale of gutkha, the government of Goa has ordered a complete ban on the sale of tobacco products. This heavy move is sure to be a lot more effective that Maharashtra’s weak decision that does nothing to stop to sale of cigarettes, which are obviously as or even more harmful than gutkha. The use or sale of tobacco in any form is now illegal in Goa. May the meek government of Maharashtra and all the other states learn from this brave move from a tiny state famous as one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.

The Health Benefits Of Smoking

As all cigarette smokers in India know by now, Classic Milds is the new Wills Navy Cut. It’s trendy and easily available, and a combination like that obviously only inflates its popularity. I smoke Camel or Benson & Hedges or 555. Did you know hospitals that treat smokers with cancer turn Wills Navy Cut smokers away? Don’t know if it’s true, but what I’ve heard many times over is that the cancer you get from Wills Navy Cut is incurable. I’m writing this because I overheard someone saying this about Classic Milds yesterday. Apparently, this hopelessly incurable cancer comes from Wills’ tobacco. If I’m half as smart as I like to think I am, I’ll just forget about cancer sticks, yeah? But hey, fellow smokers…if we’re going to keep inviting cancer, let’s give it a red carpet welcome, shall we?
