A Reminder That TOBACCO is an Industry: Caring about the outcome of smoking is not a part of the industries business model

I stumbled upon an hour long documentary on YouTube that reveals why an increasing number of folks in India are taking up smoking--turns out regulation is low, activism is in its infancy, and the tobacco industry is "enjoying" great freedom in advertising tobacco through all forms of media.

I liked my smokes,and I miss em' BUT watching this documentary reminds me that the tobacco industry is only concerned with earning a buck from my smoking. No more than that. 

Given this truth, I really do have to be my own activist...


And I owe a debt of gratitude to those activists who have lead the charge to change all the laws that have lessened the impact of tobacco industries ability to sell itself in the USA--
