Marlboro

I have a Marlboro cigarettes packet on my desk now.

One side of the packet "Smoking kills" is written.

Other side of the packet "Get help to stop smoking: Consult your doctor or pharmacist" is printed.

Interesting thing is these letters are in big sizes and not using small fonts like we used to see in our local products "Government Warning ............".

This brand we can buy from duty free shops only and Government of those countries are brave enough to ask companies to publish warnings like this.

Do you know the ingredients of the Cigarette:

Tar 10 mg
Nicotine 0.8 mg
Carbon monoxide 10 mg

I astonished to see the last one and I am imagining these fools ( you know who i am referring ) are trying to avoid smokes from the silencer of the motor vehicles with greate difficult.

Sri Lankans living in Lebanon

Today i saw in the BBC news that Indian Government sent war ships to Lebanon to evacuate Indians in Lebanon. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/5191366.stm
There are 80000 thousand Sri Lankans and 12000 Indians in Lebanon.
Our numbers 6 times of the Indians and what are the steps thar our government has taken to evacuate our people.
This came to my mind and i can understand how Sri Lankans are trying to survive in unknown territory.
We have to help them. I was thinking as a citizen what i can do for this situation.

War is in threshold of Lebanon. I can smell it. How horrible would be the atmosphere.
Who start the war or who are fighting each other are not my questions, how people are terrifying and running away are my concerns.
