    I started smoking in 1972 after enlisting in the US Army. I tried to quit when I was 38 years old but failed. Several attempts later I managed to succeed by the use of nicotine gum, and angry determination. I was 42 years old when I finally quit for good. It was a damn hellish struggle, but I managed to overcome the desire to smoke. Even to this day, I still find myself wanting a cigarette and often in my dreams find myself smoking a cigarette. I know I will never light up, but the desire is always there. I am 70 years old, but that desire still lingers. Nicotine is a very addictive drug! To be honest, I do find myself breathing deeply whenever I pass a smoker. The aroma of the smoke is that enticing.

      The scent of the tobacco, and the feel/aroma of the actual smoke is what keeps me smoking. I'll be 38 in a couple months and I picked up my first cigarette when I was 9. Up to at least a pack a day by the time I was 14. I think about quitting sometimes, but I'm literally stress in human form, so.. it's difficult to say the least.

I'll never judge someone who's dealing with an addiction negatively. I wish anyone looking to quit a smooth transition with plenty of support and understanding!

    The influence and reach of the tobacco industry cannot be mentioned enough. I recall watching several years ago, in the early 2000s, an episode of the Penn & Teller show, where they talked about all the arbitrary and weird security measures taken by airports after 9/11.
    One such measure (I have no idea if this is still a thing), was that it was completely forbidden to get aboard a plane with any bottled breast milk. But then, to call attention on how perplexing and weird this security step was, they mentioned how it was perfectly normal for people to board planes carrying matches (Again, no idea if this is still a thing, it could have changed since then, this episode aired like 20+ years ago).
    The reason why matches were allowed? Several passengers liked to light up a smoke after the plane landed and they got out. And tobacco companies lobbied HARD to make sure there was no law banning the carrying of smokes and matches into planes.
    Hell, we can take this even further, before 9/11, you were actually allowed to smoke WHILE INSIDE THE DAMN PLANE. Something so unfathomable and unimaginable today, we'd have an easier time imagining the house of representatives running their sessions completely nude. That's how much power is behind the tobacco industry. The worst part is that lawmakers know they can't outright ban tobacco as that will go over about as well as the alcohol prohibition did. The best we can do to fight that poison is just to demonize it as much as we can and shun the practice for the disgusting harmful death sentence that it is.

It's the same thing as fat acceptance and trans rights, just repackaged for the needs of Big Tobacco - the classic "my body, my choice" and "you can't judge me" argument. To their credit, no one is challenging them out of fear of looking bigoted. It's the future of the tobacco industry and it cannot be stopped.

      Back when restaurants allowed smoking, I would keep a pack of Clove cigarettes on me; for some reason, most smokers found the smell rancid. When they lit up, so did I. When they asked if I could put it out, I would take a puff and turn to them, saying “I’m sorry, but it’s my right to smoke” while blowing it in there face.
      They usually left without getting their food and never returned; I slowly but surely reduced the occurrence of smoking at my regular restaurants.

It was a success but the doctor said he had NEVER seen such scarred veins in BOTH legs until my father. The problem...the smoking from when he was in his teens to literally the day before the operation. He hasn't smoked since but he still says that it wasn't the smoking that caused it. Sure, dad, sure. Yet, he still hasn't smoked since then so I don't think he truly believes that.

    People who find their conscience shocked by their employers tend not to be promoted to higher positions, and often leave. The result is that large organizations end up being lead by the true believers. They have no trouble denying that smoking harms health, burning fossil fuels contributes to global climate change, and so on). Add to that the fact that positions of power are correlated with loss of empathy.

    The tobacco companies’ actions are interesting. Some lies can last longer than everyone involved’s life, some last long enough that by the time the truth comes out no one cares. Their lies were never going to last long enough and when discovered, guaranteed the courts would come down on them like a ton of bricks - which they did to the tune of billions of dollars.

      In general, I am for capitalism. But when the machines driving capitalism get too big, they can become as bad as the bad governments capitalism fights against. The "Big (insert industry here) I'm presently most worried about is Big Pharma and Big Psychiatry. Especially after 2020, there is a lot of money being spent to make people feel bad so they can help you feel good.
