IT'S TIME FOR GOVERNMENTS TO OUTLAW TOBACCO PRODUCTS
Whether 230 days of abstinence from the devil weed has either cleansed
my body and mind, and improved the image of a social pariah, is not the point of
today's homily.
Suffice to say that I think I feel better after slightly
more than seven months of cigarette sobriety following a half-century of
mindless indulgence.
For that, I thank the manufacturers of Zyban, a
medicant with a 22-per-cent success rate in smoking cessation among hard-core
idiots, considerably higher than most other methods recommended as useful aids
in quitting the habit.
