CAN ONE STICK OF CIGARETTE BE AN INEXPENSIVE TESTER?
Rep. Act No. 8749- Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999 bans and penalizes
incineration [Sec. 20] and smoking [Sec. 24, RA No. 8749].
The law raises
two relevant and smoky issues: first, increasing garbage problems/mess due
to the banning of incinerators and incineration[Sec. 20] which is the best
,fastest and "zero" method of waste disposals ; and second, the incoming
implementation of smoking [Sec.24, Rep. Act No. 8749] by the several
LGUs.
On the first issue, some LGUs are declaring June as Tobacco
Month"[i.e., Cebu City] reminding everyone of the danger of direct/passive
smoking preparatory to the full implementation of the law. Incidentally,
May First is WHO's Tobacco World Day.
Smoke from incinerator has been
tagged by science to create a "hole" in the ozone layer which has
disastrous effects on the health of the people. Safe and smokeless
incinerator/s from industrialized countries are recommended. On the other
hand, passive smoking is another science's guesswork for causing cancer and
respiratory ailments. Preposterously, passive/second- hand smoking is even
considered dangerous than direct smoking.
Since Divine
healing/traditional healer[Sec.4(h), RA No. 8423] discovers already the
causes/cure of cancer, asthma and respiratory
ailments[www.evramirez.faithweb.com] as early as 1987, before banning the
operation of functional incinerators and indicting Filipinos of their
leaded fuel, smoke-belching cars, and for smoking in public places/vehicles
this query should be answered squarely-
Is it possible for any smoke to
enter the lungs and/or destroy the ozone layer by creating the dreaded
holes on it?
Not possible is the correct answer. Either situation is
impossible.
This is the problem of false education when everyone,
unknowingly, allowed science to fool oneself at the expense of Gen. 2:7 and
everyone's cherished common sense.
Instead of indicting people and
wasting public funds and time we should learn the basic lesson of a lighted
single stick of cigarette costing one peso to two pesos depending upon the
brand.
Anyone smoking that cigarette and swallowing/inhaling its smoke
has these eventual results: one, smoke, not a "liquefying" oxygen, is
thwarted off by coughing/expiration and phlegms if any, being expectorated;
and two, the expirated/exhaled smoke is immediately dispersed by the
blowing wind. Emphatically, tar andnicotine being ingredients of some
drugs, cannot infect because there is no antidote being produced against
them in the human body.
That lighted cigarette may prove two things:
First, the colorfulsmoke [ the "visible" bluish, grayish and blackish
carbon dioxide/monoxide]emitted from cigarette, incinerator, factory and
car, as well as, the "invisible" colorless carbon dioxide of man, not being
a liquefying oxygen [Gen. 2:7] can not enter the lungs under the process of
exchange of gases. Second, no smoke can possibly reach ozone layer because
their symbiotical usage by the plants and the dispersal/pulling effects of
the blowing winds and gravity prevented such smoke to do so.
If the
swallowed/inhaled smoke expectorate phlegms by way of rejection[intense
coughing] ,is it not a curative process[expectorant] for those with
asthmatic/respiratory ailments?
Is it not ironical that one single,
inexpensive stick of cigarette that the law is seeking to ban and penalize
is actually proving the perfection of Genesis 2:7, as well as, its
counterpart in science -"exchange of gases", by making itself a substantial
and adequate evidence to reassess and re-evaluate RA No. 8749 for its
eventual repeal?
