Cigarettes are bad and all, but from a business standpoint this is pretty clever. The EU forbade them to put ads on the package, so they're putting ads in the packages. I hope my appreciation of their ingenuity gives the some solace when they're burning in hell.
bro if you think selling tobacco a product i both deeply enjoy and literally need to function sends peoope to Hell you need to go to confession
one catholic to another
I don't understand this take. You can enjoy a product but still understand that it brings more harm than good to society as a whole. I'm guessing tobacco is something you "need to function" because of the very fact that you regularly used it in the first place, probably at least partially due to the industry's predatory practices.
Don't get me wrong, withdrawal is an absolute nightmare I am blessed to never have experienced firsthand, but cases of lifelong dependence are why those companies should burn in the first place. If there were a way to get you and others like you what you need while wiping the rest of the industry off the face of this planet, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
If you genuinely enjoy smoking and believe tobacco has enriched your life, more power to you. Perhaps someone selling tobacco to people in your situation doesn't bring harm, but selling that same product to someone who's never smoked before and might potentially become hooked for life? Yeah, straight to hell. Fuck them.
