Cigarettes and Delights

Recently the passengers of practically all airlines lost the opportunity to smoke cigarettes during the flights. However, it’s not for everybody’s liking. That’s why the business from Germany Alexander Shopman decided to establish the first airline in the world, the services of which will be available only for wealthy smokers.

According to his words, Smokers’ International Airways will carry out daily flights from Düsseldorf to Tokyo.

The founder of the company asked tobacco allergic people not to apply for tickets, as well as people accustomed to travel in economy-class, because it won’t be provided in Smintair airplanes.

It’s expected that the Smintair services will be popular among Japanese businessmen.

It’s planned to use two reequipped Boeings 747-400 (Jumbo Jets). If the standard model of this airliner is able to carry 416 passengers, Smintair airplanes will be able to carry maximum 138 passengers, allowing the inveterate smokers to make their flight more comfortable.

Besides, airplane’s re-equipment provided the allocation of special rest-hall on the upper deck, where it will be possible to spend the time drinking coffee or tea.

At present time, ex-stockjobber Alexander Shopman is in search of investors. According to some data he has to gather al least 40 mln Euro for air transportation license.

It was discovered recently how to live easy and cheerfully. But you have to travel to Cuba in order to do this. There, approximately 3 thousands of old people who had turned over 100 years old, account for 11.2 mln of population.

Such proportion couldn’t be uninteresting for scientist, who went to the picturesque province Villa Clara and gave productive talks with more than a half of the hundred long-livers.

It’s not so difficult to prolong your life, though special restrictions exist. Provincial “centenarians” are convinced that the priorities have to be allocated properly.

For example, they complain about the intemperance of young generation in alcohol consumption, whereas alcohol destroys organism, deprives person of the interest in life and leads to the intellect opacity.

Cubans don’t used to deny themselves in amusements.

It’s so nice to smoke a cigarette or cigar, drinking a cup of flavored coffee! Nicotine and caffeine are taken by the Cubans very often and, strange enough it may seem, these two substances are of benefit.

But it doesn’t mean that local people do nothing but drink coffee and smoke cigars and cigarettes, we have to take into consideration their incredible activity. They never despise hard physical labor. And, it stands to reason, that sex is a significant component of the longevity’s secret. 

Even the most “moviegenic” ritual in the world was expelled from the Hollywood blockbusters, the “independent movie” still use it! “Coffee and Cigarettes” – the movie of the most independent and ironic American director Jim Jarmusch –the best confirmation of this fact.  

The movie consists of 11 non-connected short stories, where extremely cute and funny characters smoke, drink coffee and converse with each other.

In the short story “Somewhere in California ” Iggy Pop and Tom Waits drink coffee and talk about the healthy life-style. They said that since they had quit smoking cigarettes, the life changed for the better. After long soulful conversations Waits began to smoke. In response to the sad look of Iggy Pop Tom explained imperturbably: “What is there so bad about it? I can smoke one more cigarette. I gave up, man.”

Coffee and cigarettes – is a hazardous combination, but it’s so devilishly nice! Useless, but pleasant whim, which became for Jarmusch a metaphor of unserious disadvantages, little and comic defects of human nature, which are so great stuff to make fun of, drinking a cup of coffee and smoking a cigarette. So, let’s smoke one more cigarette!  

But there were some organizations, which protested against such innovation. The reason was the following: they insisted that distribution of such cigarettes may cause the increase of smoking children and teenagers. It’s not a secret that chocolate is one of the most favorite kind of dainty among kids, and it’s not improbable that the flavor of such cigarettes may attract children to cigarettes.
