I have a theory…. The world would be a much better place if everybody smoked and drank together..
This is a finding that cuts across age, race and location… I have found it true – based on anecdotal evidence mind you. I have not quite acquired the cross gender data yet… but I suspect it still holds true….
The proof? The way people’s eyes light up when they share a smoke…You can almost feel the electricity of bonding as they exhale in unison.. The smoke from their nostrils blending into an upward swirl… especially if it is a shared stick… Or more.. The sense of fully belonging when beer bottles lose their contents… Men are never more equal than before the bottle… Stories of hurt, of pain overcome and of success unlimited are swapped with reckless abandon under the inebriation the lager induces…. I suspect people would trust their smoke buddies more than their priest..and given the news continuously breaking, I wouldn’t begrudge them the lager…
I still don’t smoke or drink.. yet.. Maybe when I feel the world needs saving in my own little way… I’ll start 🙂

Baggucci are you looking for an excuse to drink and smoke? IMO i dont feel the world would be a better place if we drank together. Remember alcohol lowers inhibitions… before you know it;
The Americans will be insulting the British
The British will insult the pakistanis
The Pakistanis will remind the Indians of the civil unrest of decades ago
The Native Americans will remind the caucasian americans of their yeye manifest destiny
And dont get me started on African Americas
Or the Nigerians and the South Africans
….simply put…the global bar should get ready for a drunken fight.

Don't forget the part of "the world having lung cancer and kidney problems together."
And then, the doctors will all die too, and the smiles may turn into sad frowns.

Sigh, the way your mind works ehn?! Lol…although I think its more than just a sense of belonging, it being a clandestine activity (esp smoking) adds to the appeal. But once everyone takes this up, a new clandestine activity will come up – humans and their need for exclusivity *shakes fist*
