I saw three nurses sitting on a step in the sun outside the Weston Favell Health Centre this afternoon smoking cigarettes. A fantastic image. Made me wish I had a camera with me, or enough juice in my poetry engine to write a decent haiku about it.
Thank God there's still a couple of weeks to go before the smoking ban, which is not only a triumph of corporatism over individual soul and mind, but also another victory for the puritans who are gradually claiming every corner of our world.

There are heaps of videos of women smoking, on You Tube. That it should come to this ...
Maybe in the future there'll be furtive "smoking magazines" doing the rounds ... pics of women with cigarettes in their mouths and hands ... and we'll think back to the old days of when it was openly done in the streets ...
There are porn sites dedicated to women smoking as well. Or so I'm told.

i don't smoke or like to be around smoke - but, i can't see why we can't have areas of restaurants and pubs where folks who do can -
