smoking is a beautifully executed tax on people via addiction. They created a product they cloak in the terminology of freedom and history, loaded with additional addictive chemicals and pushed it on our youth years ago. It's not bad enough to kill you or your ability to "produce" but the odds are good it will kill you before you can collect social security and will act as a daily tax as its marked as a luxury good. It's disgusting for all kinds of reasons that have nothing to do with the filter or the smell.
