Your tax dollars at work. Hey, pushing a kid to emotional breaking-point is small potatoes compared to all that guilt equity! the New York State Health Department will raise among smokers for the 5.5 minutes they could be spending with a cancer stick.
Contemplate the moral dilemma with fellow creatives-in-arms, and then ask yourself, just ask — are a few seconds of anxiety worth it? It’s not like smokers don’t know about the health consequences, or that their priorities are mildly screwed up (I always feel a little guilty lighting up in front of tots); does one sappy spot a quitter make?
