Did you guys know that last Monday it was "No Smoking Day"? That's why MMU made it a public holiday, coz MMU doesn't support smokers! No, I'm kidding, last Monday was a holiday because it was Maulid Nabi, had nothing to do with No Smoking Day.
But smoking has been an issue for so many years. Many people start to realize the disadvantages of smoking, while the younger generation are getting more exposed to it.
The smokers say that smoking is good for monitoring your health, coz if the doctor forbids you to smoke, that means you're not healthy, but if you're huffing and puffing away, it means you're fit as a horse. Hehehe, lame excuse.
The non-smokers say that they are victims of secondhand smoking - and its true! - and they are trying to get all these smokers to quit.
But smoking creates a big industry. From the cigarrette factories, to R&D labs who study lung cancer and the cancerous chemicals that are found in cigarrettes, from the people who produces nikotin patches to special toothpaste for smokers, everyone will be affected if smoking was banned!
But even without the smokers, the world is polluted enough, not to metion the contribution of cigarrette butts to the pile of imbiodegradable - is that the right spelling? - trash. The streets are easily littered by those irresponsable smokers who throw away their cigarrette butts ANYWHERE!! Darn those litterers.
So, smoking, there is still a HUGE argument of whether it should be banned or not. But, I hope those non-smokers get to say, "Yo! It's No Smoking Day!" to those smokers on last Monday. What do you guys think about smoking?
And on this topic, I would like to contribute one of my own original songs about smoking, and smokers in particular.
Story Behind It
This song was written not so long ago, on the 19th of September 2008. This was my dark ages, when I was 6 kg lighter than now - I know, I'm FAT now, but I'm happier, hhahahaa - and when I was half-depressed. And playing around with some chords, I remembered how a friend of mine once said that, "My girlfriend is my cigarette. I'm devoted to it, and I'll be faithful to it. And it will always be there when I need it."
Uh, talk about addiction, but what he said ringed in my ear, and then I wrote a song... about devotion to a cigarrette. All those smokers out there, do you feel me???
Oh, and it's in Indonesian, so pardon me to those who don't understand it! Enjoy. Leave your comments!
Anthem Perokok
Walau telah kucoba, meninggalkan dirimu
Tapi selalu aku, kembali padamu
Ingin kubercerai darimu, tapi kuterberai tanpamu
Bila terpisah ku akan mencari, jalan tuk bersamamu lagi
Chorus:
Perlahan kau membunuhku
Perlahan kau musnahkanku
Tapi kau temani, malam-malam sepi
Berjanji setia walau kau buatku, mati
Rokok putihku
Bersamamu aku menderita
Tapi terpisah aku tersiksa
Kini aku lupa, hidup sebelum kau ada
Pernah setahun ku tanpamu, setiap hari merindukanmu
Kadang kubertahan tanpamu
Seringnya, ku akan s'lalu menginginkan dirimu
Back to Chorus
Well, thats all! I know it's a funny song, but I think those smokers feel me when they listen to this, right folks?
