Desde hace unos años, gracias a una úlcera duodenal, dejé de fumar. ¡Maldito vicio que me tenía los pulmones vueltos mierda!
Agradecí la ley que prohibe fumar en establecimientos públicos y cerrados. Oler ese químico quemarse me produce nauseas, me marea.
Hace unos días no más, el 21 de Julio del 2011, comenzó en Colombia a regir una ley que prohíbe la venta de los cigarrillos al menudeo, que a mi parecer es muy drástica e inútil. Pero antes de entrar en consideraciones y editoriales, presentemos unas voces, rostros e historias de los que van a sufrir los rigores de dicha ley.
Salimos a la calle con la plata con la que se compra un paquete de cigarrillos, de los que no son muy caros, ni tampoco baratos.
y para arrancar esta minicrónica, fuimos a una tienda vecina, de la que decimos que son amigos.
Los actores que usamos para ir de tienda en tienda, y de chaza en chaza, son dos jóvenes fumadores, que se fuman medio paquete diario (en promedio).
Nos dijeron seriamente, que “Desde el 21 no vendo, y no pienso vender“.
Ya con las ganas de fumar encendidas, salimos a darle una vuelta pequeña a la ciudad, y paramos en esquinas, en centros comerciales, en barrios industriales (estrato 3, 4 y 5).
La próxima fue una chacita (un cajón hecho con tablas o con un cochecito de bebé), en una esquina de un sitio con mucha concurrencia
Nos vendió inmediatamente. Daniel, nos cuenta, que el señor tenía “Capacidades especiales”, y era de edad. A 200 pesos el Boston.
De 10 sitios que visitamos, la tendencia es muy clara: los vendedores informales, que su sustento depende en un alto porcentaje del cigarrillito menudeado, sí venden. Los que tienen tienda, y pagan impuestos y tienen un negocio variado, no venden.
Y claro, los más humildes sí dejaron grabar su comentario, su crítica, su exigencia. Los de los negocios grandes, se negaron a comentar los beneficios y los perjucios de la ley: “búsquese a otro para eso“, decían. Eso no es ningún descubrimiento.
Vean y escuchen atentamente:
¿A quién beneficia la ley?
¿A las tabacaleras?
¿A los grandes comerciantes?
¿A quién?
Podría organizar esta historia, estos ejemplos conseguidos en un medio día, como una denuncia y una crítica a una ley. O irme por el lado de la salud pública, y sentirnos felices (y mis pulmones también), pero, la dejé así, lineal, larga, y superficial, donde escuchamos frases como: “Nos van a dejar morir de hambre“. “Ni al medio ambiente lo beneficia“. “No entiendo esa ley“. “Vendo hasta que se acaben esos paquetes, y luego no más“.
Como cada ley creada, nos la tragaremos completica sin chistar. Nos comemos todos los sapos, incluso los que más asco y daño nos causan.
Cámara y fumadores: Daniel Quintero y Diego Guisao.
