I like to think of myself as the yin to society's yang, so allow me to counteract the recent ad campaign by telling you why William Morris might not be such a bad guy after all. Because I feel sorry for my smoking friends, I really do. Their habit has been banned from the workplace, from public restaurants, from buses and subways and planes. I mean, no one would think to outlaw breathing , for Heaven's sake. And yet that's all they're doing, just that they happen to be breathing a lit plant.
Smokers share the only real sense of community left in the workplace.
You can see it in their eyes , that common bond of persecution. One of my smoking friends tells me that smokers suffer less stress, since they actually take a few breaks a day. Man, I usually don't even take lunch. And let's throw out the second-hand smoke argument right now. Run along then, young scamp.
