Personal Narrative about Smoking Marijuana - Sniffed Out "All right chief, puff, puff, pass!" This reminder of smoker’s etiquette attempts to rise from the back seat, but the bumping speakers drown it out. I am in the driver’s seat of my car, floating on a thick cloud of music and smoke. My eyes close, my lungs fill, my head nods and becomes lost inside a hip-hop haze of bass, high hats, and trumpets. Just before Big Boi introduces his “Spottieottiedopaliscious Angel” a hand cuts through the smoke and whacks me in the back of the head. Leaving the music, I turn around, take a huge toke, give the middle finger (all in good fun), and pass the joint to the backseat....   [tags: Drugs Narcotics Marijuana]	1645 words (4.7 pages)	Powerful Essays	[preview]

Benko, a non-smoker, has been happier at work as the manager of Our House East, a small bar on the Northeastern Campus in Boston, given that this bar no longer can allow smoking inside. “It used to get really smoky inside and was hard to breathe sometimes because it was so busy and everyone was smoking,” Benko said. “I would have to dry-clean my work clothes every week because all my nice shirts reeked of smoke.” The lack of a specified smoking section also caused this small campus bar to become extremely filled with smoke....   [tags: Smoking Health Tobacco Essays]	1828 words (5.2 pages)	FREE Essays	[view]

The EPA and Anti-tobacco Zealots - The EPA and Anti-tobacco Zealots Tobacco smoking has been one of the hot controversies of our time. Many people find tobacco smoke annoying, smelly and just plain dirty and unpleasant. Some smokers themselves agree with that sentiment. Today's smoking restrictions, not to mention the attack on smokers and extortion of tobacco companies, could not have been engineered simply on the grounds that tobacco smoke is unpleasant. We needed another reason. So the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) literally manufactured, using bogus science, the finding that second-hand smoke is a class A carcinogen causing death and illness for tens of thousands of people who are simply around tobacco smoke....   [tags: Smoking cigarettes Tobacco] :: 2 Sources Cited	1295 words (3.7 pages)	Powerful Essays	[preview]
