Questionnaire

Age? 19

Sex? Female

What is your degree subject (both if joint)? English

Does ‘Being Bad’ relate well to the other modules you are taking? No

If so, how? And if not, why not? y other modules are far more factual based, where as this is thinking about issues for ourselves.

Have you found ‘Being Bad’ too demanding, too easy, or at an appropriate level? An appropriate level

Do you think the list of topics covered on the module was appropriate? Yes.

Are there any topics not included in the module that you would like to see included? Maybe prostitution, as many people had something to say about it in the blogs.

Do you think that the format for classes has worked well? Yes

What did you think of the module team? Great, all very appropriate for the topic they lectured about.

Do you think it would have been better to have had more:

Small group discussions? No - people would rarely talk about the topic

Discussion and debate among the class as a whole? Maybe - although students may be reluctant to participate

Information and talk from lecturers? yes

The approach taken in the module is interdisciplinary (drawing on perspectives from English Literature, Film Studies, Creative Writing, Philosophy, Media Studies and Politics): do you think this a useful way of approaching the topics covered in the module? Yes because all the topics covered relate to other subjects.

Do you think that interdisciplinary modules are a good idea? Yes because the different perspectives often help us with our other modules.

Do you think you have benefited from the interdisciplinary approach taken in the module? Yes.

Would you like to see more modules that cover this kind of subject matter? Yes, because there's something everybody can relate to; the topics feature heavily in our lives.

Are you planning to take the follow-up module PH2004 ‘It Shouldn’t Be Allowed’ at level 2? I haven't decided yet.

Would you recommend ‘Being Bad’ to a friend? Yes.

Do you think that the blogs (web logs) were a good idea? Yes because everybody can share their opinion about topics that they feel strongly about.

What did you think of the other assessments (e.g. would it be better to have one longer assessment rather than two shorter ones?)? I preferred having two shorter ones.

What have you learned from the module? Some of the reasons as to why people do certain things.

What parts of the module have you found most useful and why? The blogs, because reading other students entries initiated my own thoughts.

What parts do you think were a waste of time and why? Some of the lecture topics, such as 'bandits'. Whilst it was quite interesting it didn't seem relevant to society today.

Are there any other comments you wish to make regarding ‘Being Bad’? No.

Comment on 'Kate's Column' - PDA (Public Displays of Affection) shouldn't be allowed

http://katenicola89-kate.blogspot.com/2009/04/pda-public-display-of-affection.html

I agree with Kate’s post COMPLETELY. There is nothing wrong with holding hands, hugging or even quick kisses but full on making out is pretty disgusting to see in public places, and especially queues! You expect to see it in places like clubs, but not out shopping or something! There’s nothing wrong with being affectionate, but there is a time and a place for it because quite simply...other people don’t want to see it.

Fattism

Yesterday whilst I was reading Cosmo I came across this term. I’d never even heard of it before, but apparently it’s becoming quite a big deal.
According to this website ‘fattism’ is particularly a problem in the workplace – with people being denied jobs and suffering name calling because they are overweight, so a lot of people are doing a lot of complaining and thinking that this is bad behaviour.
Personally I disagree. Sexism/racism..that’s bad...but fattism just seems like an excuse for overweight people to moan. How many overweight people would simply use this as an excuse for not getting a job, when really it’s just because there was a better candidate?
Maybe there is some truth in employers being less liable to employ overweight people, but sadly that’s just society. And I’d actually go as far to say that we aren’t just a nation of so called ‘fattists’ – we’re all ‘uglyist’. If we see somebody who doesn’t fit it to the standard of beauty then whether they are fat or stick thin they will suffer because of it.
This is a sad state of affairs, but realistically it’s not going to change because of legislation. If people have a problem with fattism they should at least make sure they are not suffering from this prejudice by not being overweight.

Graffiti

A lot of people would agree that graffiti is bad. But is it really a $1million problem? These people say that’s how much they wanted to rid the graffiti from their town – because $200,000 just wasn’t enough!
So, clearly they think graffiti is pretty damn awful, but is it really THAT bad? I actually think some graffiti looks quite nice, and clearly the artists have some talent so getting rid of it is almost a shame. That being said, most graffiti is just done by unimaginative individuals who believe the lewder the better. I think we’d all agree that this type isn’t nice, isn’t funny and the people doing it really need to get a life. I suppose even if the graffiti is reasonably artistic there are far better ways to express it; they have to bear in mind that a lot of people find graffiti very unattractive and dirty looking.

Comment on 'Miss Demeanor' - 'Bad Parenting'

Emma Johnson’s Blog

I’m not too sure if I agree with this, I think it’s a very valid point to have raised because it is ALWAYS the parents who receive the blame, and maybe it isn’t always their fault because children should be able to tell the difference between right and wrong, but what if morality hasn’t been inflicted on them from an early age?
Obviously if the child commits a crime then they should be blamed, but the parents aren’t completely blameless in the situation. If a child grows up and witnesses bad behaviour they will see this as normal, although that being said that is no excuse for anybody to act badly.
Obviously this is a topic which isn’t as black and white as it might seem initially; it depends on the situation and the individuals involved, and of course age is a big thing to consider. When does somebody stop being a child in terms of committing crimes?
I agree that it isn’t in a person genetic make- up to act badly; I think it’s the external factors which influence a person’s behaviour, this includes bad parenting.

Drugs

During last Thursdays lecture Gerry said one thing which I think was so worthwhile that even if for the remainder of the lecture he recited nursery rhymes it still would have been beneficial. He suggested that people take drugs to make their life fun, so does it mean that their life is not fun the rest of the time?
Although this might have been said in jest, I think that it has a lot of sense behind it. It’s something that a few of us were talking about, and we all seemed to agree that somebody with quite a happy disposition wouldn’t consider taking them – because they don’t have something that they need to block out. Maybe that is a very broad generalisation and maybe it isn’t true of everybody, but in my opinion it makes sense.
I found this website which I think it makes some insightful assumptions as to the reasons people take drugs – and then very successfully argues why it is ignorantly stupid to indulge in such idiocies.
As for the argument if drugs should be legalised or not then I am firmly on the side which says HELL NO! Gerry had a point that banning them has done very little good, but legalising them would make it seem like it’s ok to take drugs and is suggesting that they are harmless. At least while they are illegal the morons that abuse them can be prosecuted.

Comment on 'Becky's Blog' - 'Scoop the poop!!'

Becky Webb’s Blog

Becky is so right...dog poo left on the streets really is a vile thing, and I had absolutely no idea that it caused toxocariasis, people definitely need to scoop it! I do think that since the fines have been introduced the amount on the streets has decreased, far more people seem to scoop it now, but there are still the few that leave it.
Obviously picking it up isn’t a very nice task, but these people know that it’s the law to pick up the dog mess so they should take it this into account before they decide to get a dog. It’s careless for them to leave it because it’s an even worse job for anybody who has to clean a shoe after treading in somebody else’s dog mess!

Comment on 'Naughty but nice' - 'Quick thought for the day'

Shane Smith’s blog

I completely agree with Shane on this, I’m so glad that I’m not the only one who thinks this because I was beginning to think that the UK had gone crazy.
It’s a shame that she died so young and left two children behind, but these kinds of things happen every day to people. She should not get more sympathy because she is in the public eye. Like Shane said, it is very convenient how everybody has forgotten all the bad things that she did (as well as highlighting the poor education the UK seems to have).
Her death was tragic, but we do have to remember the horrible racism she exhibited in Celebrity Big Brother, having cancer will never erase all the awful things she that she did.

Drinking whilst pregnant!

This woman was refused service in a pub because she was ordering something alcoholic whilst pregnant. When her friend got the drink instead they were asked to leave the pub.
So, which is worse? The woman being asked to leave the pub or her attempting to drink whilst pregnant?
I guess some people would say that the bar owner was amazingly nosy and interfering to have refused to serve the mother to be, but clearly her behaviour was purely selfless and was only doing so because she thought it was best for the mother and the baby.
You could say it was none of her business if the mother was to drink or not, but in my opinion she was right not to participate in behaviour which she clearly disagreed with.
And as for the mother, I think it was incredibly irresponsible to even consider drinking whilst pregnant. If there were any difficulties in the pregnancy I doubt she would think it was worth it either!

MP's

I think the question on everybody’s lips is...how much more do they want? Not only do they have a considerable wage, but they are able to claim for everything under the sun, and still that’s not enough. They want a glowing pension as well.
They want an extra £800,000 a year, and of course it’s the tax payers who end up footing the bill. So, for arguments sake, somebody earning £20,000 a year then they would have to work for 40years just to pay for the extra pension required by the MP’s.
But it’s not only that thought which is anger inducing for all of us, clearly the more money that goes towards their pensions the less money we have for schools, hospitals and such and such.
If they are worried about financial security for their older years they should try saving some of the money from their pay packet. The rest of us can’t simply demand a better pension and get it straight away.
The amount of money they are taking from the taxpayers for their expenditure is quite simply a piss take.

Gambling

Apparently Florida is changing its laws concerning gambling. The legal age for gambling will be lowered from 21 to 18, and they are removing the limits in stakes in poker games.
In my opinion this is irresponsible, and clearly it has been changed it so that it allows even more money to be made. If the age is lowered then it is just exploiting younger gamblers, and if the limits are removed then it is exploiting everybody.
Fair enough, everybody has free will so if they are stupid enough to gamble ridiculous amounts of money and risk losing it then it is up to them, but I still think that Florida should take some responsibility.
There’s obviously nothing wrong with people gambling, as long as it is responsible, a quality which may be lost on 18 year olds and people who are willing to gamble more than £100.
And changing the laws right now with the economic climates the way they are just tops it all off; it’s almost encouraging people to gamble when this is arguably one of the last things they should be doing.

Comment on Take Off Your Colours - The Morning After pill

Katy Finch’s Blog

I agree that it is amazingly shocking that girls as young as 11 are thinking about sex, let alone having sex, but I think it’s a good idea for them to be able to text for the morning after pill.
In a perfect world people this young wouldn’t be thinking about sex, but clearly some of them are. So, introducing an easier way for girls to get the morning after pill might reduce the amount of teen pregnancies.
Obviously condoms would be far more effective, but if it’s too late for that then I’m sure the girl would feel bad enough as it is without the shame and aggravation of getting the morning after pill. With them being able to text to get it they have more chance of people actually using it, because girls at the age of 11 might simply not bother with the aggravation and hope and pray they don’t become pregnant.
Obviously, as long as there is still a network of safe sex advice offered I don’t see much of a problem.

Fare Dodgers

It’s one of those subjects where I am torn with what to think. Apparently the number of people dodging the fares on London buses has doubled in the past four years, and the people dodging fares on the train costs the operators £270million.
Obviously it is basically stealing, because people are getting a service which they are not actually paying for. Then again, don’t the operators make enough profits as it is anyway? If the fare was reasonably priced then I think fewer people would be dodging, but because the cost of public transport is extortionate people are obviously going to try to avoid paying.
Personally I’ve always paid whenever I’ve used public transport, and I know that I always will, that being said I can understand why people do dodge the fairs. It does seem a bit irritating when we think that we pay to use the service of the train/bus and some people get away with not bothering, but that money would only go straight into the pockets of the operators anyway, and with the cost of travelling as high as it is I’m guessing they make enough profit anyway.

Obesity

Maybe some people are going to argue that obesity doesn’t really deserve a mention here, but when we take into consideration that obesity can reduce a person’s lifespan by two – four years (and that’s not even including the obesity related diseases) it doesn’t really seem much different from smoking.
Obesity isn’t exactly frowned upon, unless of course you include the jibes that people make at the slightly tubbier folks. But other than that it seems to be completely acceptable for people to abuse their bodies in this way. Maybe that’s because it’s quite common, or maybe it’s just because we’d look like heartless morons if we were to constantly comment on other people’s weight.
Either way I think obesity is unacceptable; it’s careless for people to carry so much weight that they’re unhealthy. Not only has it got to prevent them from enjoying life, but it’s also costing the NHS.
I guess it is a person’s choice, just like it’s a person’s choice as to whether they smoke or not, how much they drink and other things which are typically unhealthy, but the smokers are banished to outdoors to light up and the drinkers have unit numbers constantly rammed down their throats, so obese people should receive similar treatment.

Teen sells virginity

This story is amazingly shocking to say the least. I thought so anyway.
On the one hand it is her body, and her decision, so if she wants to auction off her virginity then it’s got nothing to do with anybody else, and obviously it’s going to be financially beneficial seeing as the money she will enable her to afford college.That being said, not every student feels the need to turn tricks in order to cope financially, she could wait tables or stack shelves just as easily.
And although I do think that prostitution should be seen as a business transaction and not receive as much criticism as it gets, this is completely different. I think so anyway.
This girl is clearly setting herself up for the fall, she openly admits that this is the way she wishes to meet her husband, although realistically that just isn’t going to happen. Her innocence is refreshingly beautiful, but I honestly wish I could shake the poor girl. The highest bidder isn’t going to sweep her off her feet, in all probability he’s going to fuck her then fuck off. And if she only gets 10% of her target then she’s not even going to be satisfied financially. It seems like for £5,000 the only thing she’s going to be getting is a bad experience.

Unprotected Sex

We probably ALL agree that unprotected sex not only feels better, but it's arguably one of the unsexiest things ever to stop in the midst of passion and say “hang on babe let’s just get the condom”.
And with the UK apparently being the one night stand capital of the West, it’s arguable as to how people do actually use protection, not only for the feel good factor, but also because generally people won’t be arsed with it.
If two people are actually in a relationship and they know that neither of them has a nasty disease (and use other methods of birth control if they don’t want kids) then I guess there isn’t anything wrong with it at all.
If it is a one night stand then it’s actually quite gross to not use protection. The other person could have shagged anything, therefore you could end up with all the diseases under the sun, and then there’s the whole unwanted pregnancy issue. Not nice. So, although it might feel better and be a bit more sexy (although it’s debateable as to how sexy one night stands are at the best of times right?) it’s generally not worth it is it?

Comment on 'Becky's Blog' - Littering

Becky Webb’s Blog

I agree with Becky’s point COMPLETELY! It is just pure laziness not to use a bin. It is true that there aren’t many bins around, but people should wait until there is a bin nearby. Litter is not only extremely ugly to see rolling around the streets it encourages other nasties like rats, and nobody really wants those do they?!
What’s just as bad is when people litter indoors. That really is horrible. People have to sit surrounded by other people’s rubbish and that’s just unpleasant, then it gets left to the next person to clear up after somebody’s carelessness. I’ve seen people leave bottles, food wrappers and old scraps of paper countless times at uni; those people are the laziest of the lazy considering there is a bin in every single room.
There doesn’t seem to be any decent excuse for littering, unless of course it is a genuine accident, although as Becky already said there’s no excuse to not pick it back up and put it in the nearest bin.

Body Modification

Probably one of the most fascinating lectures so far. Personally nothing particularly made me feel squeamish (besides the foot wrapping thing) but I can understand why some people were a little off put by some of the things.
That being said, I find it difficult to understand why some people would actually want some of these things done to them, obviously hundreds of years ago they all had a lot of practical value, but to do some of these things purely for aesthetic reasons doesn’t make much sense to me. Admittedly some of the things were insanely beautiful, but most of them seemed like glorified disfigurement to me (obviously like the scarification, the beading and especially, the erm, quirky gentleman who thought splitting his dick was attractive).
Obviously there’s nothing wrong with anybody wanting any of those things done to them, but I think with most people the novelty would wear off. Particularly if they have them because they are being rebellious; there will probably come a time when they just can’t relate to that anymore.
Although I guess it’s all down to personal choice, and if anybody has any of the modifications after a bit of thought and for the right reasons then they probably won’t regret it at all.

Increasing Tuiton Fees?

We’re all students, and while it’s costing every single one of us I don’t think there’s anybody who could say that it wasn’t an investment. But could we still say this is the fees were increased? A small increase is understandable, it’s not something I’d be encouraging but it wouldn’t be the end of the world. However, practically doubling the fees isn’t justifiable.
While we all know that a degree is something worth having, it is arguable if it’s worth over £30,000 of debt. The students will still be paying off their loans by the time their grandkids go to uni, and if they wanted to go on to post-grad education the amount of debt they would be in isn’t even worth thinking about! If the fees increase by this much then many people who want to study quite simply won’t be able to afford it.

Disability Parking Hogs

This is one topic that strangely irritates me above all else. I’m not disabled, nor have any immediate family who qualify as disabled, yet it ALWAYS strikes a nerve with me when somebody who is clearly NOT disabled is in a disability parking space.
21% of disability spaces in supermarkets are occupied by non badge holders.
There is no need, if they can walk from a space further away than they should do it and be a bit more considerate towards the people who are actually impaired. Surely life’s difficult enough for most of them without having to struggle from the back of a car park.
The disability space hogs are just lazy individuals, who should spend half a minute thinking about somebody else.

Mobile Phone Snooping

Ok, picture this. Your sibling/friend/boyfriend/anybody else on the planet possessing a mobile phone gets up, walks out of the room and leaves their phone next to you.
Morality is telling you not to snoop, but there is such a short space between your hand and that phone, and you are just so damn curious!
Chances are there’s nothing on there even worth looking at, but you know in your heart of hearts that you NEED to have a quick browse – even if it’s just through the texts.
So you go through the moral dilemma of looking or not looking. Personally, I generally always look (unless of course I know from a past encounter that they have a boring phone).
Everybody does it, and everybody knows that everybody else does it; it’s just that nobody talks about it, because even if you do find something juicy then you would have to admit to being a phone peeper.
Maybe there are people on the planet who can see an unguarded mobile phone and not even consider being a little bit nosy, and if there is I would LOVE to meet them, because clearly they are more strong willed than most of us.

Is honesty really the best policy?

The answer to that age old question is yes, it is.
Ok, certain exceptions to this rule do exist, I mean lying to kids about a fat guy at Christmas doesn’t really cause any long term damage, so that’s pretty acceptable, and the lies which people tell because they greatly benefit somebody else are obviously a win as well (I’m thinking along the grim lines of WW2 when people hiding Jews lied about it, you know how it goes).
But drastic exceptions aside, lying is bad. That’s what we’re taught, and in my opinion is probably one of the best lessons we ever learn.
The way I see it, people commonly lie for two reasons. To cover up something they did, because the truth would cause punishment or embarrassment, in which case just strap on a pair and take the hit. Or to avoid somebody’s feelings getting hurt, but the chances are they are going to be told the truth eventually, and perhaps in a much more abrupt way, so initial honesty is actually far more kind.
Obviously there are other reasons for lying, but the general lies people tell on a day to day basis seem to fall into one of these two categories, and I really don’t think that they’re necessary.
We should all practice a little more honesty; lying really is one of the ugliest things out there.

The Jackson Touts

Michael Jackson. Everybody has an opinion on the man. But the level of his sanity isn’t the issue as of late, it’s his 2010 tour.
Now, obviously the tour itself isn’t the issue here, it’s the touts buying the tickets before the fans.
Ok, so this is unfair for the REAL fans who have to spend far more on the tickets, and that the money is just going straight to a ticket grabbing jerk. But, you do have to admit that it is a beautifully simple way of making some extra cash.
Arguably these people shouldn’t be buying tickets if they have no interest in Michael Jackson, but when the tickets are sold on a first come first served basis people can hardly complain because everybody has a fair chance. And there are ticket limits after all, so I guess the fans aren’t too exploited.
In a perfect world maybe there would be a screening process somewhere in the ticket buying – maybe a Michael Jackson quiz or something – but realistically I’ll be that Mike doesn’t really give a toss who buys the tickets, as long as it’s a sell out.
So yes the touts are immoral, greedy and selfish, but realistically who can blame them?

Masturbation through the eyes of the 'emasculated' boyfriend

So last week’s lecture made us realise that the girls can actually keep up with the guys in the old masturbation stakes. That’s good, everybody like equality.
Well, actually no, they don’t.
Yes, this man hates the fact that his girlfriend uses a vibrator. He feels emasculated.
If his concern is 100% legitimate then I think he is the one engaging in the bad behaviour; not her. He’s being completely unreasonable, and should be grateful that the only substitution she has for him is plastic.
Clearly he should move with the times and accept that masturbation isn’t a big deal anymore, and neither are vibrators. There’s no way his girlfriend should suffer because of his insecurity, clearly he’s not delivering the big O, so he needs to accept the little v.

Vanity

Of the seven deadly sins – vanity is my favourite (yes I know it isn’t technically a sin, but it’s the most common example of pride is it not?!)
Apparently it’s the deadliest as well – although I find this difficult to understand.
Being vein should be considered an attribute; not a negative trait. Vanity doesn’t cause harm to anybody else, at the very most it's mildly irritating.
This lovely man seems to disagree. Don’t get me wrong I understand how he reached his opinion, but I don’t agree with it. The guy who smashed his car was undoubtedly a jerk; he wasn’t vain, or even a narcissist. He was clearly the opposite and was rather insecure.
In any case a vain person wouldn’t have driven off – they’d have been far too busy checking themselves out in the car window.
So on behalf of vain people everywhere – we’re just comfortable in our own skin, and we shouldn’t have to apologise for it.

Comment on "Kate's Column" - Prostitution

Kate Egginton’s Blog.
Prostitutes do have a slight stigma attached to them. If it’s your job title then you’re a cheap STD ridden whore, if you visit one then you’re a lecherous sleaze ball.
Granted, it’s not an occupation I wish to pursue, but I don’t think it deserves the level of criticism it gets. There are probably quite a lot of jobs that quite a lot of people would prefer not to do, so why should prostitutes suffer constant critiquing when choosing to turn tricks was their own conscious decision.
That’s why I was so relieved to read Kate’s blog. I think that prostitution SHOULD just be seen as a business transaction. Or at the least it should not suffer any more condemnation than two people engaging in a one night stand.
I guess at the end of the day a prostitute is just a preferable option over somebody’s right hand, but they are still treated like people. They can choose who they accept and who they decline, how much they are going to be paid, what they are willing to do and if they are going to be seeing the person again. This basically sounds like a one night stand (if we forget the small stipulation about money changing hands.) So does it really matter if prostitute’s reasons are financial rather than sexual?

Comment on 'Laura's Being Bad Blogg' - Infidelity

Laura Payne’s Blog.

It’s a little difficult to relate to this topic when you’re somebody who’s only experience with infidelity is Jesse McCartney songs. But I am able to say that I agree with what Miss Payne is saying about cheating being a part of a person’s genetic makeup; clearly it's a stretch. I'm definately more inclined to believe that it's external factors, the idea that certain people are programmed to cheat sounds like a scheme concocted by a load of testosterone laden boys to try to convince us that they really couldn’t help it. THAT’S A JOKE! I don’t actually think that there’s a tendency for either gender to cheat more so than the other.
I think that perhaps the only gender difference with infidelity is that girls are more likely to actually begin another relationship with somebody where as blokes would just have some no strings attached sex. But maybe that’s being a bit generic.
Either way it has a direct impact upon another person and will inevitably cause at least some heartache; it’s just not acceptable to be in an understanding of exclusivity and to completely ignore it, whether the indiscretion was falling head over heels in love with another or just a grope outside a club.

Stealing (But not REAL stealing, just illegal downloads)

Stealing. Whether we think it's bad or not we can't deny that it's frowned upon just a little bit. But haven’t we all engaged in one type of stealing? (Well two if you include the IKEA pencils; but that’s another blog) No, I'm actually talking about illegal downloading.
Yes, we've all done it.
The strange thing is, in the first weeks confessions nobody owned up to it. I would argue down to the vowel that this is simply because it didn’t occur to anybody to confess to such a blasé 'crime' rather than the idea that nobody had committed it. I mean, we were sitting amongst drug users, fish killers and a boyfriend-dad seducer; it’s highly unlikely that this bunch would think a little harmless illegal downloading is crossing a line.
And when good old iTunes charge 79p per download it’s understandable why 95% of all music downloads are illegal.
The question is should it be illegal? I guess the fact is still that people are getting music which they haven't paid for; but somebody somewhere along the lines paid for it. So this generous individual can upload it on a peer to peer network and SHARE (this being the keyword) something that they did actually pay for. In fact, it'd be a great global conspiracy in future to just have one person buy an album and pass it on to everybody else. That would at least screw with Simon Cowell's head.

Smoking

So after the smoking lecture, we weren’t too busy talking about whether or not smoking was ‘bad’, we were more concerned with it it’s sexy or not.
Damn straight it is!
And I know I’m not the only one who thinks this. If I was on my own then surely there wouldn’t be smoking fetishes, and the NHS wouldn’t have felt the need to introduce a campaign trying to persuade young people that smoking isn’t sexy .
Initially those adverts may work – but they’re pretty much
redundant because as soon as a picture of Brad Pitt surrounded by a cloud of smoke is released people will revert to thinking that smoking is actually sexy.
Maybe the yellow teeth, bad skin and foul smell aren’t exactly erotic – but realistically how many smokers suffer from these symptoms; only the ones who have bad personal hygiene in the first place.
I’m not being so naive to say that sex appeal and fashion are the only reasons that people spark up, nor am I saying that smoking has become the new black; but I’m reckoning that over the years smoking has helped more than one person get laid.


All that, and I’m actually a non-smoker!
