Smoking Red Sun


It's so weird to be in a country where non-smokers are outnumbered by smokers 10-1. Everyone smokes. Everyone smokes everywhere. Here you'll see a picture of Pui's uncle lighting up in McDonald's. He also smokes: in the car, in the house, in any and every restaurant, all day, everyday. From what I can tell this is completely normal behavior. The 'No Smoking' section of restaurants is like 4 tables in a back room.

If the legal system can be proud of one thing of the work it has done in America it's shutting down big tobacco. I have no doubt that the life span of these people would jump up to over 100 if they could do something about getting those teens off of nicotine.
