Big Brother decided it is very bad for you. They spend millions on ad campaigns warning against smoking. Lawsuits are pending against tobacco companies; lawyers are claiming the tobacco boys have been deceiving the public for the last 50 years. At the same time, doctors have been telling us, also for the last 50 years, smoking's bad for your health. So we were well-informed. And now smokers who got sick want to put the blame on the tobacco companies, not taking responsibility for their own stupidity. But now another thing: The big push is on to legalize marijuana smoking. I heard there are some real bad chemicals in that stuff - even worse than tobacco. Marijuana use almost always leads to more heavy drug use. So now we're gonna have cokeheads driving our roads along with drunks. More health issues, more lawsuits, more crime. Kinda ironic, isn't it.
