the legal age of smoking is up, and i am down. way down.
so here in little old britain, the legal age of smoking has now gone up to 18. which is shit, since i’m 17. what’s the point in that? to stop teenage smokers? the fact is most start because it’s illegal and cool in the first place at that age, so by raising the bar, the government has effectively fucked itself and the NHS over by making more 16 and 17 year olds acting “cool” by doing something illegal at that age. nice one brown.
lucky, my next door neighbour is a “fag house” (sells duty free cigarettes cheap) so i can fuel my habit.
also, the most important album of the year is out in 10 days. radiohead’s “in rainbows”. i seriously can’t wait. it’s make or break for radiohead, with lp7. i’ve preordered the box set. can’t wait.

That’s how it is in the United States–smoking age is 18 and you can’t buy lotto tickets until then either. Drinking age here is 21. Driving age is as young as I think 11 in Kentucky and as old as 18 in some states; in my state it’s about 17. Stupid laws. I may invest in some Radiohead material. I’ve never really listened, but I’m seriously considering it.
