Ciggies

Hyenas....

Banyak sungguh la iklan anti rokok. Merata-rata kempen anti rokok. But i think it failed. It phailed!.....big time. Because i think it doesnt work that way. I mean, setakat kempen-kempen anti rokok ni, perokok tak pandang pun. Membazir duit kerajaan je. I saw satu iklan anti rokok. Yang orang ramai-ramai baca surah Yaasin (a Muslim recitation to someone who is dead) dekat perokok tu. Smokers just laugh. Iklan-iklan penyakit kat kotak rokok tu, diorang takde perasaan pun. Diorang mungkin geli masa mula-mula pandang tu, tapi tangan dah pegang rokok dah. Tunggu ape lagi....light je la rokok tu kan.

Memang tiada kesan.

How i know? Because i know. I have been battling with this myself....hahaha. Trying to make this someone to stop smoking.

I have been trying to make my fiance stop smoking for a long time. Before he met me, he smoke a box a day. After we become serious, i feel responsible to take care of him (years ago). I ask him to stop. But then i understand that it is hard to stop. So i ask him to reduce. Baik kan saya? See, im not a medusa (go figure). I dont force, im a very tolerable person. Then we have an agreement about how many cigarettes he can have one day. I trust him to follow the agreement. I am not doing a queen control.....i just CARE. The agreement dated years ago...and it goes on until this very moment.

I have some friends who smoke too. And i realize the thing is, the smoker will only stop, if he wants to stop. That is the very annoying thing about it. I realize this means he doesnt want to stop yet. The smokers doesnt want to stop yet! They see a picture of a gangrene leg because of smoking, and they say..."gamba tu bukan gamba orang sakit hisap rokok, tu gamba eksiden. Penipu."

Doesnt it make u sweat now? Rasanye kalau orang-orang kerajaan yang bertanggungjawab dengan kempen ni dengar camtu, menitik-nitik peluh diorang.

So when do they stop? They will stop when something hit them. Meaning, when suddenly there's something that make them think....that they have to stop already. That time, is elusive. Im not sure when. Im not sure how. Some people stop when they have kids. Some people stop when they got married. Some people stop when they see the pure face of their newborn baby. Some people will stop when someone close to them died because of smoking. Someone even decide to stop smoking when the see a beautiful sunrise.

Maybe some certain people will stop......when i really become a medusa.

Me: I think its time to reduce ur cigarette.

Him: Eh, tak payah. Sekarang pun dah hisap kurang kuota.

Me: Oh, kalau camtu agi senang reduce kan?

Him: Tak payah reduce. Memang hisap kurang dah skang.

Me: What if our kids saw u smoke?

Him: I will NEVER ever let the kids see me smoke!

Me: *sulk....


This battle is not over yet =)

Till next time people....x0x0
