RE: Contest - week 9 - “Let's talk about an addiction” / Concurso- semana 9 - «Hablemos sobre una adicción»
For sure the industry but also the government has a big finger in smoking. It's a nice income they make with the taxes.
Vaping by the way is forbidden with us. It causes more cancer than smoking.
If it comes to smoking I don't like and I find it a bad thing that non smokers are confronted with it and studies show that non smokers living with smokers have more cancer as well. Strange, but I call that alarming (no matter who poisoned the cigarettes).
Good luck with the contest.
I don't think drig is really bad if we want to view in government mentality. Maybe anyone with uniforms are free to smoke but the civilians are no allowed. What are we deceiving?

Of course you can smoke, buy, smoke, buy, chew, they don't care. The more you pay, the higher the taxes the better for the gov. They suffer from inflation as well.
By the way, with us smokers you mainly find among low educated, not too smart people in what we call anti social behaviour areas.
The incidence of cancer has increased dramatically with the use of vaporizers.
Smoking in itself is harmful. Now the industry, the government, and all those who live thanks to human detriment, have joined in encouraging an increase in the habit of consumption and inhalation of toxic tobacco smoke and its compounds.
Both young people and older adults are falling into this bad habit.
It is alarming if, every time I see someone in this habit, future images of that person in bed and suffering come to my mind. I can't help it.
Smoking was promoted by doctors (see youtube) and vaporizing is also allowed by governments which makes me think.
All smokers promote the bad habit of smoking. I have seen many colleagues crying when they are on the verge of death from smoking.
I was also a smoker, but I tell no one to continue smoking or start doing so.
As long as I live I will always tell about all the lung damage that this causes.
I don't usually regret the things I do, because nothing can be done with regret, but I can say with my testimony that smoking is one of the most stupid, harmful and toxic vices in the world.
I belueveva dictor should live hralthy. If you cannot do that you cannot advice others.
I find it a bit hard to belueve in that verybshort time vapo exists the cancer increased that dramatically.
There is way more, if not everything, that causes cancer to start bit everything Big Pharma sells and the overdose of vacvins hoven to kuds, microwaves, cellphones you name it. All dangerous for the health (and all those senders, transmitters, receivers.) We have the cancer triggers: wind turbines, millions of batteries and the poison in solar cells.
All big business and no way Big Pharma's intention is healthy people only.
Besides if this everyone is responsible for his/her life. We can not blame lack of education for ignoring facts. So if those being addicted (alcohol, medication, drugs, smoking, e-sigarets, vapers?, glue inhalers etc) continue the way they do it's their choice and their responsibility and they should pay the costs as well. Also if they put the health of oartner/children in danger. I don't find that an entire sociery should pay for the fun and lifestyle of those who never cared about them and put them in danger. Smokers ruled lives, the world with anti social behaviour and I am truly relieved that after a life if not being able to sit somewhere smoke free it's now forbidden to smoke everywhere.
It still smells terible though especially those chemicals. No idea what makes people think it's cool or they are healthy. Who knows it's popular because of a lack of social connections — is sucking a substitute for the real humans they miss.

I do not agree that a person who is not healthy cannot advise another. You can advise when you can, if it really comes from the heart. Not in a hypocritical way. No one knows the reason for a person's addiction.
They have done many studies on the incidence of cancer in young people who use vapers. Perhaps it is too early for the majority of those in power to accept the results provided by independent and isolated studies, but what is certain is that deaths from respiratory diseases have increased, no one can deny it.
The result of technology is exposure to radiation that is imperceptible to humans but that the body does capture, sensitize, attack, colonize and unleash diseases that we do not even suspect of the origin. Cell phones, electronics, electrical devices, etc. They all have compounds that are harmful to humans in the long run.
I live near oil refineries, it helps me that I am close to the sea, rivers and a lot of vegetation, but the refineries gradually contaminate the environment and the long-term consequences are terrible. But economic power is in charge.
The way people are smoking makes it look like it does nothing for their health. Sometimes I begin to wonder what they taught me in school about drug abuse. What the hell is going on? So we have been deceived in school. They will tell us the government is to maintain peace and others, but the same people are the ones encouraging it.
Does that really make sense? Sometimes I think school should teach the reality instead of loading us with notebook knowledge...

I assume the only way to raise taxes is on stuff many cannot resist (cars, drugs) and what they need to survive (shekter, food, clithes, water, electricity and the new kid: internet).
The rest, those health tips? It's all fake. They rather see you die. It's said because tmit is exoected.
What school teaches us fake. To start with how to sit, lift, the max of weight of a schoolbag, when to pee, eat, sleep.

Even if they raise tax on hard drug, people will still find a way to get it. The worst part, tr company will make it smaller quantities. It a business strategy, they know that once people get in touch in it, they will do everything to get it.
Yes @wakeupkitty, you are right. All the health propaganda that may come out as a result of the misuse of a substance or exposure to things is just a smokescreen. This is how we believe that large companies are truly committed to human health. They only commit to your money.
But at least we're not robot, we have conscience. We can think, and know what is good for us. So it not the company alone, the people who consume it also have questions to answer. Remember they worked on demand, if many requests for it, marker will move and there will be a lot of sales.
That's where we go; Human beings have free will and generally tend to choose the bad, that is, they make bad decisions. Vices are a clear example of this. Many people get second chances but others don't.
We see how many politicians, artists, soldiers, rulers and others fall into addictions.
The environment that surrounds them, the system that drives them, a weak character, mental trauma, psychosis, etc... added to this a marketing that encourages the use of substances that produce addiction. Everything is on the table for us to go there. It is our decisions, bad decisions that allow us to fall to the bottom.

It is the power of money, it is the desire to have more and more money. That is why the big tobacco companies reach an agreement with governments and high officials and put tobacco into circulation throughout the world.
They don't care about the damage they cause, they care about the money they make.
Not only them, because some people take tobacco not because of money but because they are addicted to it. Most of them will steal just to satisfy their desire. Anytime I see a pack of cigarettes and I read the warning: smokers are liable to die young, it gets me annoyed. Maybe you should change because it looks like betrayal. You know we're going to die young and you're still selling it to us....
