My Thots: February 2014
http://titilayoobishineshine.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 26, 2014. There was a time when it was a taboo for females to hold cigarette not to talk of smoking them, but this days its becoming the norm with female actresses smoking in our home videos thus glamorizing the habit and encouraging more females to smoke. This is an antisocial act that calls for urgent action as it negates the efforts of the governments and concerned peoples of Nigeria to nip smoking in the bud. The good news is that together we can stop this epidemic from invading o...

Friday, May 16, 2014. It is Better Now than Later. Either by omission or commission, it is interesting how many people fail to take into consideration immediate and long-term impact of a smoking lifestyle. Infact, it is quite common especially amongst young people who smoke to debate and argue about the effects their bodies have to deal with. It is only as smokers get older and side-effects become more obvious that some smokers accept the UNDENIABLE truth. 8220;If Nigeria passes the law, it has instant i...

Wednesday, March 26, 2014. It has gotten to the point now, that the employees that work the shift before I do smoke right before I get there.

I am outraged that by virtue of earning a living I am forced to breath "class A" carcinogenic air. I have pleaded with the corporate office, provided them overwhelming evidence that my work environ...
