Safe S*E*X, but no Smoking...

Just got back from my favourite little BakeMart on Salwa Road.... went to purchase my sin.... Cigarettes... But apparently they don't sell them anymore...

When I questioned why, they said because they are in nearby proximity to a school... now I am very well aware of that rule, and it affects alot of small shops around the areas I live and work...

However, the shelf behind the till that used to display lovely packets of nicotine.... are now the proud home of....

Condoms and lubricants....

Am I the only one that sees the irony here?

nicotine gradually kills person who smokes..

condom disrupts conception..(another term for killing probable life)..

which is more sinful? now that's another question..

I kid you not.

The box showed a woman rubbing her temple with it.

I know one woman that was running "sex equipment parties" using supplies she brought from the UK. They used to have race nights switching the vibrators on and racing them across the floor. Who needed bars when such entertainment could be had.

Reminds me of when we visited the souk in 1982 and were faced by a display of "Stud delay spray for men".

Also of when the toy shop underneath the old Sofitel were selling vibrators amongst the kids toys and Salam Plaza were selling them as remedies for headaches.

If only they had known!

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the ciggarettes I smoked, i feel ashamed. Then I look into the ciggarette & think about the workers in the ciggarette factory & all of their hopes & dreams. If I dont smoke this ciggarette, they might be out of work & their dreams would be shattered, Then I say to myself, it's better that I smoke this ciggarette & let their dreams come true then be selfish & worry about my LUNGS.

Aana free, jaana free,

Pakde gaye tho khana free.

doesn't promote s*e*x out of marriage, you'd think they'd keep the condoms in Family planning clinics only;-)

Not an easy access counter in your corner store, lol...

it makes sense...just because there is a school nearby you wouldn't want to remove contraceptive items...infact u want to keep them there coz a desperate cpl is gonna do whether or not they can find contraception...so why not just make it safer for them...

condoms make u safer...ciggs don't

well, maybe they are encouraging youths not to smoke because it develop lung diseases unlike pre-marital sex appears to have no bad effect from their lungs at all...

PEACE...
