Cigarettes
I never smoked. Still, cigarettes spoiled a big part of my life. I was always surrounded by smokers, people who never cared about anyone else. Those smokers blew the smoke into other's faces, pushed their cigarettes into your body, left the ashes behind, and till today they throw the left cigarette everywhere they go which includes the street, my garden and if I would let them my house too.
I am not longing for those days back then as smokers ruled. Nonsmokers sat in their smoke and bad air in the cinema, restaurants, and trains. The smoker shouted at you if you asked them to not smoke in a nonsmoking area. Today smoking cigarettes is no longer normal. It does not give you a certain class if you smoke on the contrary. Smokers are seen as low-educated people and no (old) Marlboro cigarette-smoking cowboy can ever change the smoker into a cowboy again. Even if being a cowboy is negative too. Cowboys today are seen as killers. I remember how the government forbids playing "cowboy and Indian". Even back then the government interfered with people's, children included lives.
I read cigarettes will be more expensive in 2023 in the EU, packages of 10 cigarettes are no longer sold, and next to the text warnings printed on it a huge photo of a disease caused by smoking will be printed on it. Will the smoker care? I doubt it. Does the government care about the nation's health? They proved since at least 1915 they don't. People are a huge source of income and after the latest governmental hoax we know we are all part of experiments and politicians, scientists and doctors can't be trusted.
Longing for a cigarette is created by the same people who say you should not travel and claim they care about the earth. The same people who pay for rioting, own MSM, control your thoughts, give you a killer jab and let you die on the streets for hunger. The cigarette won't disappear and they will find another way to figure out who is easy to manipulate, can't control himself, and can be drugged.
The government makes a great income from the sale of cigarettes just like they do alcohol, owning a car, and gasoline. If they cared about health and nature, and carbon footprint, these industries would have been banned years ago. Instead, the government was even fine with e-cigarettes which are forbidden today too just like cigarettes with a special taste because they should be more dangerous. EMA, healthcare is a joke but I'm sure most people do not think deeper about the reason behind the latest ideas and laws and they forget how it once was even if once is only a few months ago.

Cigarettes even the cheaper packs have gone up to about $6 in the US. The more quality brands run from anywhere to $8 and up! I'm blessed to have never been addicted to smoking!!!
