Re: [EZLINK] Re: anyone interested in other than jobs, room rent,...
Hi Muthia,
i can't agree with your saying "Government punishing
someone for smoking is not correct..."
you drive your own car without following traffic rules
and if government fine you for traffic offence, will
you say it is your car and your wish? no, isn't it?
government is right because you are causing danger to
others with your carelessness. same way, smoking is
also dangerous for the public. knowingly you are
causing health problem to innocent people.
besides economies and campaigns, it is everybody's
social responsibility to safeguard the public
interest. do you agree with me?
cheers
