Haze : Smoke On?

1052574_blue_smokingSmokers are advised by health authorities not to smoke when the intoxicanting haze is on, which is caused by burning of forests in the region – probably because smokers suck in the polluted air. But whether there is a haze or not, they are sucking in polluted air through their cigarettes, while puffing out second-hand smoke to create ‘haze’ around themselves. Seeing smokers puffing away in the haze, I find it more amazing than annoying. With or without an actual haze, they are already willingly living hazy polluted lives. That which is physically pollutive to oneself and the environment, is surely also spiritually pollutive. Why not quit smoking?
