Don't get out much Doug ?
or was it a backwater or was it a long time ago ?

Ride this train... (apologies to Johnny Cash)

Ride this train to Toronto ... winter..
see the huddled masses downtown on lunch break
see the cigarette stick to the wind dried lips
as they try to suck back that quick haul
before frostbite takes hold in the extremities.
Cursing as the body of the smoke breaks away in
their fingers with the business end stuck and searing
in between digits..
Curse the NO SMOKING INDOORS rule..

Ride this train to Toronto ... summer..
watch the sunworshipping smokers drying their skin
and nurturing their melanomas, filling their lungs
with that ethereal mixture of smog and cigarette effluent...
as the sweat of the dog days of summer soaks their clothes
for want of air conditioning
Cursing the NO SMOKING INDOORS rule..

Ride this train to Montréal, longtime one of the champion
smoking cities of Canada ... Upscale West Island Mall...
mute and clean remnants of a bygone era populate the malls.
Empty vesicles which once held countless spent bodies of
kamikazee troops of Imperial Tobbacco and the occasional
Special forces Marlies or insidious low tar Vantage
brigades... all soundly proscribed , never to return to fill
those halls with their poisonous fumes and stench of their
foul stale rotting corpses..
Cursing the NO SMOKING INDOORS rule..

Ride this train west... Ride this train to Sioux Lookout.
See it roll into the station as anticipating wraiths,
cigarettes at the lips and lighter at the ready prepare to
leap from on high and fill their lungs with nicotine to take
away the pain in their lungs, worse than the first highschool
heartbreak..
Cursing the NO SMOKING INDOORS rule..

Ride this train .... indeed but remember NO SMOKEING....

Smokers here feel descriminated against and their plcaes to smoke are greatly curtailed... Personally IMO the government should be focusing on cars if they are that concerned about second hand smoke.

Got a light ? ;o)
