Smoking in Public

Ok I don’t care if you smoke or not. You can kill yourself with your own hands for all that matters I DON’T care BUT please when you are in public, just don’t do it! 

I was in a cafe yesterday, and I felt suffocated in there, everyone was smoking. I don’t get why people come to eat AND smoke. Isn’t a restaurant a place to eat? I noticed that here, more women than men smoke. Most of them wear trendy cloths and are stick thin. I don’t know what’s up with that but anyways, don’t they think of how much they annoy and harm non-smokers, kids, older people, sick people and pregnant ladies?

Read this:

… Do You Know What Can Happen to other people while inhaling that filth? 

1. When people smoke, those around them are affected both by smoke from a burning cigarette and by second-hand or passive smoke- this is the smoke that the smoker blows back out after inhaling. 

2. Passive smoke is worse than the smoke that a smoker inhales from a cigarette- passive smoke is much more concentrated 

What happens to children when they are around passive smoke: 

More respiratory illnesses, including asthma 

Growth may be slowed 

Increased chance of having chronic lung disease as an adult 

O bas, I hope this country, the one I come from and the one I am currently living in, considers banning smoking in public places.

Shoush’s post on the Beckhams reminded me that I so love the British accent.

I love it I luuuuuuuve it!

I just love it. 

Remember when Hugh Grant was trying to talk in an American accent in Micky Blue Eyes?

THAT was cute! 

English vs. Arabic

It annoys me when kids speak English at home.

It annoys me when parents encourage that.

It annoys me when parents think it’s something to do with high class or something like that.

It annoys me when they bring maids who only speak English for THAT reason.

Whatever happened to the Holy Quran language?

Truely sad..

  Fayoora’s Post yesterday made me think of this. It’s something that always bugs me! Whenever I hear kids speaking English in Kuwait I am like UUrrrGghhh!!!! 

I feel bad because my son is having a hard time with Arabic as we are living abroad for the moment. He gets two hours a week at home but it’s not enough. Plus, it’s different when you learn at school with other students. Those folks in Kuwait don’t know how lucky they are wallah yet they don’t care about it. Sometimes my son speaks in English and I always stop him in the middle of his sentence by telling him hey we speak Arabic here. Thing is, he doesn’t mean it. Sometimes he just doesn’t know how to explain something in Arabic, that’s the problem. So, I let him get away with it but I try to explain it in Arabic so that he knows what it means or how to say or ask next time.
