England Vs China: Round 5: Smoking.

The cigarette. The only natural predator of the human species left in the wild. The main driving force of human evolution in the world today, picking off the weak willed and the stupid day by day. Unfortunately, it’s method of slow, painful death is often not quick enough to stop the stupidity passing to the next generation.

Smoking in England is more and more being seen for the curse on humanity that it actually is. Warning labels are compulsory, advertising is seriously restricted and smoking in public has been outlawed. Smokers are becoming a minority in England, and the majority of that minority try not to let their dirty habit harm others and are indeed trying, or at least considering, to quit. The others are simply stupid, weak willed or/and rude.

Smoking in China is polite. The truth of smoking is well known and yet somehow, in some very twisted leap of logic, it is polite to pull out a packet of cigarettes and ensure everyone at the table has one. They will not force a non-smoker to smoke, but they may very well offer them several more that evening.

Such a tragic lack of common sense sees the three lions making a come back,

England 2 – 3 China
