Smoking....


Pearly
and
What She Did Not Expect!
 
 

















These paintings are the same
Darlene just turned one upside down and changed the colors and the name
Check out her paintings at www.darlenegraeser.com

I love that

Seeing the same thing from a different perspective
 
What I don't like is that she is smoking
I abhor smoking
I don't like the smell, what it does to a person, and how it infringes on my freedom to breath clean air, increases the cost of medical care, and increases the rates of all kinds of cancer, etc., etc., etc.
 
and I am so sick of the anti-Prop 29 commercials
 
If you don't smoke, you don't pay the tax
 
I don't care if the proposition is flawed - I don't care if Californians don't keep the money, in fact, I don't care if you throw all the money it raises into a giant shredder - 

I think people who smoke should have huge incentives to quit, and one of those should be that it costs them more to smoke. Because if they are not going to pay with money, they sure are going to pay with their health

Can I look at that upside down from another perspective

Nope!

My grandmother smoked for 54 years and died from the sequelae of emphysema
My cousin is 28 and smokes and I wish he would stop
I spent over 10 years working on gene therapy for lung cancer patients 
(some of whom never smoked, but over 90% of them did), 
and I know the slow, painful, suffocating death that awaits them...

It's gross!

Comment with another perspective or agree with me - I welcome this debate
BRING IT ON!

And in the meantime, I'll put 
on sale today
Go check it out!

Toodles,
Binky
