    It's simple. They need to impose penalties on Western tobacco companies operating contrary to western law even if it's in another country. Exactly the same as they do with child sexual predators that go to Third World countries and get arrested at home. Exploitation is exploitation.

    I quit almost five years ago now and didn't do it to save money or even health concerns (I should have done it for THAT reason)...

    I quit because I was tired of carrying around that huge fucking boat anchor and worrying every time I went somewhere or slept over at someone's place if I had enough.

    Smoked outside before it became law out of courtesy to other people and their places...so the leper aspect never bothered me.


    I wish the medical industry would have come down on cigarettes like they're doing with vaping now. I would have quit 25 years ago.
