I thought today was Give the World Health Organization the Finger Day. Hmmm, my mistake. :puffy:

It is. It's like the difference between the "American Civil War" and the "War of Northern Aggression". Just depends on if you're pro or con. Hey, wait a minute, GTWHOTF Day is every day!

I hope online retail is braced for the onslaught. Nothing whets the appetite for a nice baggie or tin like the words "no tobacco." It sounds like an emergency.

I guess all governments and their agencies have become a world wide Kakistocracy. As for me and my household, we will smoke!

I see a bowl or two of Capstan in my near future.
I just love Hallmark holidays.

A kakistocracy indeed, or merely a kleptocracy. This is a good day to smoke outside while waving to others. It puts the fear into them...

Meh, smoking indoors isn't nearly as much fun without minor children to fumigate. The thrill is gone.

Fully fed up with this, a handful of tobacco activists launched “World Smoke Tobacco Day,” a protest through sardonic critique that points out that in a world where most people are miserable, items like tobacco and alcohol do more good than harm.

Thoroughly enjoying a bowl of Lakeland Dark gifted by a former member of this forum. The WHO can send a formal complaint if they want and I'll use it to light the next bowl.

Laughing out loud. I very much remember being at family gatherings as a kid, when most of the adults smoked cigs and pipes. I'm thinking about going back there for awhile in my time machine. (I'm not drinking anything but iced tea)

It's real?!? I was on the WHO site, this is a thing? Really? Nothing else going on?
"WHO is highlighting how tobacco threatens the development of nations worldwide"

HOW? Tobacco built America.
"Tobacco threatens us all" says WHO Director-General Dr Margaret Chan. "Tobacco exacerbates poverty, reduces economic productivity, contributes to poor household food choices, and pollutes indoor air."

They know all that just from tobacco use? Also I smoke outside, where most of my food comes from, when I'm not working, and the cheapest thing I consume regularly is tobacco. But I really appreciate the concern for my well being. Really.

Sounds like smoking some Anniversary Kake is dessert tonight.
