It's Wednesday March the 7 around 3:42PM and

Let there be smoke, just not here or there or anywhere

Where the hell am I going to smoke now? Vancouver is telling me what I can't do...again. My favorite thing to do is stand outside hospitals and blow smoke into the new born's faces as they take in their first breath of the outside world. “Welcome to reality little one”, I would say. Actually I have never done that but when I carried my 18 hour old son out the door of Lions Gate Hospital early this March we were greeted to 3 dying old men smoking not 5 feet from the entrance. Luckily they had oxygen tanks on so they can live to bleed the system a while longer.

Anyways, this new law is a few years overdue but it is a little too extreme.
* No Smoking in doorways - That's Great.
* No Smoking on School Grounds - Duh
* No Smoking in Playgrounds - Super
* No Smoking near Hospitals - Awesome

No “Wall of Tobacco” in grocery stores - That’s just silly
Like a Bar hiding the 10 beers on tap and having every single patron ask them what they have on tap. It just slows things down.
If drug dealers could display their meth and heroin for sale, would that increase or decrease the number of addicts in Vancouver? Should McDonald's not display a menu? How many people die of fatness every year? What's that cost us?

BTW I took this picture this morning. It’s stunning. Couldn't you just dive in there?
