      I’m about as anti-smoking as it gets, and whaaaaat the hell is this.

      People shouldn’t smoke because smokers’ lives have worth that they shouldn’t let be destroyed at the hands of the tobacco industry, not because it makes them “losers”. What the actual fuck is this shit.

      I genuinely can’t tell if this is a ragebait or you genuinely think that.

      I could agree with “people who make smoking their lifestyles and portray it as a cool thing to do”, but almost no smoker wants to be a smoker

          The power of one’s addiction mostly comes from genetics, not your vibes. While many can’t really get addicted to weed, others will evolve around it. By your logic, every mentally weaker person is a loser

    Ironically, Marlboro started out as a brand targeted at women (which was true of all the original filtered cigarettes). It was only later rebranded for macho men.

    Lot of fun facts about filtered cigarettes, like the fact that they don’t filter shit and are actually just filled with chemicals that turn them brown when exposed to smoke so that people think they’re doing something. Also fun: the earliest filters contained asbestos.
