Smoking what?

Yes, cigarettes are a bad deal. They were specifically designed to keep people addicted to a useless thing so that a very few executive master of the universe dudes can be super rich. It's the most addictive drug. Many smokers consider cigarettes to be a pleasant recreational drug, but it's a delusion.

There is another thing commonly smoked in most countries of the world that is not addictive, but is highly desired for recreational use. While it is common in most countries of the world despite very little commercial production outside of Holland, it is probably non-existent in Korea despite it existing in Japan, China, Russia, and elsewhere. It is not such a dangerous drug like Alcohol and cigarettes, but is illegal due to not being socially accepted by the wealthy, though I am sure many wealthy people today enjoy a little ganja as I have met business execs in Amsterdam coffee shops. . It's purely nonsensical politics led on by the U.S. government. Soju, Hite, and cigarettes are all Korea is about when it comes to recreational drugs as if it were 1950's America.

Cigarette companies should be forced to shut down, but the US government won't support that as it's the wh*ore to large corporations and executives. Of course, if that did happen in America; China, Mexico, Korea, and many others would just continue to manufacture cancer sticks and would reap the profits American companies would had realized. Maryjane should be allowed worldwide, but luxory taxed just as cigarettes and alcohol as maryjane is such a good thing to be missing out on.
