Sorry, Noir, but my mind wouldn't willingly and naturally work like that. Cigarettes aren't so harmful that they are guaranteed to cause illness, not even after regular smoking lasting years. So I could hardly turn around to a hapless smoker, do my best Leftie impersonation, and say 'You are smoking. I forbid you to ... do as I command !!'
