Want a smoke?


Yeah, so I'm not apologizing for this one, except to say that after this I'll move on to the fun parts of vacation. I couldn't get a better picture of this and kept forgetting every time I was in another 7-11. If you click on the picture you can see they've gone a little farther than our Surgeon General's warning about smoking. Each pack is graphically adorned with a picture of the effects of smoking--tumours, rotted teeth, abcesses, the whole nine yards.
It was even more surreal to watch someone buy a pack, look at the picture, and then light one up. I do understand that smoking is so highly addictive and so so hard to stop. I just don't understand why people start.
Next post--really--will be all the fun that is Thailand!
