Smoking Offense

I received an informational packet containing two pamphlets in the mail the other day and according to the BC Government, I have to stop smoking. Did you know that smoking is a disgusting, filthy and expensive addiction that can kill you? But I do not have to worry, the BC Government is there for me. They will help to quit my horrid habit, there are informational websites and organizations that I can get in touch with.

The catch? For there must be a catch? Nope, none...Though, my guess is that the BC Government is tired of paying for people's medical bills and are trying a different approach to get people to quit. Nevertheless, I am offended that I received this information at all. Considering no one else in my family received this packet, I take that it was sent to(though perhaps not exclusively) to those who had the classification of Persons with Disabilities. HOW DARE they assume I SMOKE! More importantly, assume that ALL Persons with Disabilities smoke or that most do. I found it extremely insulting.

BC Government, why didn't you send out your helpful packet to every British Columbian?
