Philip Morris pernah melakukan satu kajian dimana premature deaths yang disebabkan oleh rokok sebenarnya membantu negara.
Bagaimana?
Kerana lagi cepat orang tu mati, lagi kurang duit cukai perlu dihabiskan untuk healthcare. Untung lah negara!
Jadi kalau ramai orang hidup lama, sampai tua kerepot, lagi rugi negara. Ye lah mana taknya, warga tua memang lah teras masyrakat, tapi bila kau tua tidak larat berbuat apa-apa, apa boleh kau sumbangkan kat negara sangat?
Haha lawak kan? Kejamkan pemikiran macam ni? Menyedihkan. Tapi lagi sedih sebab pembuat rokok, Philip Morris suka suka hey hey berusaha membuat kajian nak membuktikan rokok dia tu dapat membantu negara.
OK I admit it's a sad-but-true advantage for the country, but come on how could you ever say someone should die because of money? And aku rasa benda macam ni tak perlu dibuktikan. Sah-sah sangat rokok dikatakan dapat menyumbang ke arah premature death. Aku rasa setiap orang faham. Even perokok themselves pun faham but it's their decision. It's their life. Even kalau syarikat rokok tak buat iklan hebat-hebat, even kerajaan buat iklan anti-rokok bertubi-tubi, tak akan makan saman juga kalau orang dah suka nak merokok. Iye dak?
Percaya lah rokok tak akan hilang di dunia. Sebagaimana Melayu tak akan hilang di dunia, bak kata Hang Tuah. Haha. Kerana apa? Selagi orang nak, selagi tu lah benda tu ada. Right? Walau pun orang cakap tak elok, mesti ada jugak yang membangkang dengan alasan "ajal-maut di tangan tuhan". So yeah pi mai pi mai tang tu. Last-last habuk tarak. Kuboq asing-asing.
Kadang-kadang aku rasa rokok dicipta untuk melenyapkan gene pool yang tidak elok. Or maybe sebab smokers die quicker and cheaper than fat people.
Hahaha. Ok not funny.
I'm sorry if I come too strong in being an anti-smoking kind of person. Look back at my entries on smoking, memang boleh kasi perokok makan dalam kan? What to do. My loved one, my abah, died 11 years ago, when I was 17, a few months before SPM. At that time I was pretty sure about the thing that triggered his (very) fast journey towards death was...er excessive smoking (combo with stress due to works and having 2 wives. Hehehe) ? And he was 49. =)
That's my reason for not liking smoking. Read it correctly, I hate smoking. The act of smoking. But I don't hate smokers. I pity them. Because I think if they ever decide to stop, it would be hard. Actually I pity those yang mengharapkan kat foreign addictive subtance to feel good. Like me. I need caffeine. I love caffeine. Kalau boleh tiap-tiap jam nak minum kopi. Ok I digress.
Anyways, mungkin for some of you, you don't like smoking, because of the smell lah, susah nak french kiss lah apa lah, gigi kuning lah. And for yang suka, you have your own reasons too. And I respect them. Really I do. But if you were to ask my very honest opinion on this, I would say.. stop. Too bad no one ever asks my opinion on this (my siblings banyak merokok!), that's why my blog is a perfect platform to express what I think. Hiks.
