It just kept coming into my mind, how in the hell can they pick the money out of my pocket every time they want to fund something. When I started smoking cigarettes were 40 cents a pack in NY. You know they nickel'd and dime'd their way up, closer and closer to a dollar. Everybody was mad, everybody said when they get up to a dollar a pack they're going to quit. So what did they do? They skipped the dollar mark! The price went from under a dollar to over a dollar. No one made plans for that. We all felt played. The plan was to quit when they got to a dollar - they read the room real good. It was an ah-shit moment and we just accepted it. We were played. We were played on the health end too. You remember all the myths, all the poison is in the filter, smoke non-filters. These cigarettes don't use fillers. Lung disease is related to genetics. It's too late for us, and it's too late for anyone who has already started smoking or vaping. But it's not too late to stand up for those who haven't been exposed yet. If someone at some point in the future wants to smoke, let him grow some tobacco and smoke it. It will be his choice, and right now he doesn't have the choice to grow his own tobacco. Nope. He has to buy it and all else that goes along with it. It just bugged me to no end that these companies were allowed to keep selling me a product that was beyond my ability control. We need to stand up and stop defending our mistakes. We supported an evil industry and it's too late for us. It's not too late for us to stand up for others.
