Cigarettes are expensive, but the cost to make a pack is less than 50 cents to the manufacturer. The rest of the cost is tax. I wonder where all that money goes. I can't see paying such a stupid amount of money to ruin my health. On another topic, this spell checker gets on my nerves. I hate it when I start typing in a word and the checker, after seeing a few characters, tries to anticipate what the word will be automatically finishes the word, but it's the wrong word. I then have to back and correct it. It's especially bad when I purposely misspell a word because I'm firing for effect. The only thing a spell checker should do is to underline a misspelled word, not change it.
Most likely there is no connection, but It's funny that in Colombia there's a brand called Piel Roja (red skin). Since 1924.
I remember old people from my family who liked to buy the version without the filter.

Here in Holland a guy took his employer to court because he was not allowed to smoke at work. Claiming smoking is a basic right. The verdict was clear: smoking is not a basic right but a stubborn addiction.

Smoking in school class was normal. Smoking in grocery stores and boutiques was common. Smoking in the office was common place.
From the comments, there are different types of smoking.🚬🚭

I only smoke a few times per year. Mostly resistors, sometimes a capacitor or wire…
Each time I try to quit smoking.

Article in the newly released Journal of Law and Economics (Vol 68, #1) -- laws outlawing smoking in bars had the adverse effect of increasing alcohol consumption by 5%
The Impact of Smoking Bans in Bars on Alcohol Consumption and Smoking
Governments implemented smoking bans in bars to target smoking-related externalities, but these bans may also affect drinking. This paper studies smoking bans’ effects on alcohol consumption and smoking behavior. I estimate a difference-in-differences model that exploits spatial and temporal variation in smoking bans. Bans result in a 1-drink-per-month (5 percent) increase in intensive-margin alcohol consumption and no economically meaningful effects on smoking. Effects on alcohol consumption are concentrated among current and former smokers. These results imply that smoking bans lead to unintended consequences in the form of increased alcohol consumption.No, a laptop. I have a landline phone that just does voice calls, so I don't post on a phone.
I think that the 5% increase in alcohol consumption for the average drinker is less harmful than the smoke inhalation is.
I remember flying from St. John’s to Toronto in the 70’s and smoking in the last few rows of seats. Good times!
I like to smoke beef with mesquite or oak, and smoke pork with hickory or apple. Sometimes I'll smoke with more than one type of wood. I have smoked turkeys with orange, and it is delicious. 🙂
FWIW, smoking tobacco will not make you lose control of a vehicle, which frequently happens with excess alcohol consumption.
Marijuana etc., no idea.
So I would advise you to drink carefully, and preferably at a place where you can sleep it off... home or hotel, whatever else.
Be responsible, my aunt died of lung cancer, possibly due to the fact that my uncle was a heavy smoker, who died of a heart attack.
Secondary tobacco exposure is dangerous, and the effects show up after a long time.

I think that smoking while driving can be hazardous when getting a cigarette out and lighting it with the steering wheel held in place with the knees, and especially if a lit cigarette is dropped and the driver is frantically trying to find it while moving.
Coffee can be even more dangerous, if trying to dodge it while driving. Bad enough if it goes everywhere just sitting in the drive thru with it in park, right?
Hi! I hate these spelling assistants too, so I disable them in all of my devices (browsers, Word, Excel, Smartphones etc).
Check your browser - most popular ones have enable/disable.
Go to settings and you can adjust it.
