That smoking ban and lewd lyrics

Dear Editor,

I must congratulate the Minister of Health, Dr Fenton Ferguson, for the banning of smoking in public places. That's a good move. It should have been done long ago, but it's better late than never.

Chain-smokers should lift their caps to the minister, for doing such a marvellous thing; and I see it as a positive restriction of their bad habits, of smoking too much. It can also be a stepping stone for them to break the habit. So, don't become very angry or curse any bad word, when you can't get a cigarette to smoke; because, it's for your own good.

Furthermore, the banning of smoking in public places can be an advantage to good health, and a lengthening to a person's lifespan. For example, Tom Jones spends eight hours, every day, at a public environment, doing his business; but during those periods of time, he is accustomed to smoking a whole pack of cigarette, or more, each day — destroying his health — and, quite likely: a certain set-up for lungs-cancer; but now, he cannot do so. You see the difference? He should be glad and happy.

It is said that hard-ears people always feel: smoking is like when a person is gambling with his or her life — damaging your health. The more you become addicted to smoking or puffing away, it's the more you are setting yourself up for serious trouble — or a dreaded disease called lungs- cancer, or death. Am I right?

What make matters worse: some smokers have bad manners. At times, it would seem as if they are going to blow you away, as they purposefully allow the smoke to flow in your presence. So, banning smoking in public places is an excellent move.

Smoking is hazardous to health — don't overdo; or quit the habit; beat the temptation.

Let us take it a little further: There should also be a complete banning on lewd, slack music and videos, in public places. And those who are uttering indecent language in public places should be charged; because, sometimes we hear the dirtiest words being used, by disrespectful people — even in the presence of the elders, who could be their grandfather and grandmother, is a terrible disgrace.

Foul language and dirty music, should have no place, in any society; and these negative deeds are detrimental to children, and will poison their young minds.
