discount cigarettes

2008-05-21

First they came for the discount cigarettes smokers, but said nothing because I didn’t smoke cigarettes. Then they came for the cigar smokers, but I said nothing because I didn’t smoke cigars. Then they came for the pipe smokers, but I said nothing because I didn’t smoke a pipe. Then they came for me, but there was no one left to say anything. Ladies and gentlemen, I was up here a few weeks back telling you about the joys of pipe smoking. We had some laughs, some enlightenment, and I think you got to know the pipe smoker a little better. But I come to you today to speak on something far more grave, something far more dire, something that affects all of us. Not since the McCarthy era has they been a more deliberate threat to our civil liberties. I, of course, am talking about the growing hatred and intolerance toward smokers of tobacco. I’m sure all my fellow smokers know the routine. Those of you who smoke cigarettes, and I do know there are quite a few of you, have surely experienced the forced cough, the jeers just loud enough for you to hear, the general intolerance of your life choices. If it were any other habit you wouldn’t be attacked to such a degree, but not so with smoking.
