Was listening to some old Joe Jackson, (smooth stuff, by the bye) and it occurred to me to repost his classic 2007 pamphlet:
(and get the stick outta yer ass, antis, it's a minuscule piece of shredded, smoldering, plant matter, not fucking plutonium)
Smoke, Lies and the Nanny State.
For thousands of years in the Americas, and about 500 years pretty
much everywhere else, tobacco has been a friend to mankind. It has
been used to relax, to stimulate, and to treat various ailments. It has
been a vital part of rituals both social and spiritual. It has been used
as currency. Whole communities have been founded on it - including,
arguably, the United States of America.
Wait a minute. Scratch that! Smoking is a vile, filthy habit that
will almost inevitably kill you. No one smokes willingly; they are simply
pathetic addicts, duped by evil tobacco companies. Tobacco is a plague
which must be wiped out.
