I started smoking in 1972 after enlisting in the US Army. I tried to quit when I was 38 years old but failed. Several attempts later I managed to succeed by the use of nicotine gum, and angry determination. I was 42 years old when I finally quit for good. It was a damn hellish struggle, but I managed to overcome the desire to smoke. Even to this day, I still find myself wanting a cigarette and often in my dreams find myself smoking a cigarette. I know I will never light up, but the desire is always there. I am 70 years old, but that desire still lingers. Nicotine is a very addictive drug! To be honest, I do find myself breathing deeply whenever I pass a smoker. The aroma of the smoke is that enticing.

[@codyhensley640]

The scent of the tobacco, and the feel/aroma of the actual smoke is what keeps me smoking. I'll be 38 in a couple months and I picked up my first cigarette when I was 9. Up to at least a pack a day by the time I was 14. I think about quitting sometimes, but I'm literally stress in human form, so.. it's difficult to say the least.

We are a creature very susceptible to seeking the comfort of anything that can dull the pain, stress, or even tedium of everyday life. I'll never judge someone who's dealing with an addiction negatively. I wish anyone looking to quit a smooth transition with plenty of support and understanding!

The influence and reach of the tobacco industry cannot be mentioned enough. I recall watching several years ago, in the early 2000s, an episode of the Penn & Teller show, where they talked about all the arbitrary and weird security measures taken by airports after 9/11. One such measure (I have no idea if this is still a thing), was that it was completely forbidden to get aboard a plane with any bottled breast milk. But then, to call attention on how perplexing and weird this security step was, they mentioned how it was perfectly normal for people to board planes carrying matches (Again, no idea if this is still a thing, it could have changed since then, this episode aired like 20+ years ago). The reason why matches were allowed? Several passengers liked to light up a smoke after the plane landed and they got out. And tobacco companies lobbied HARD to make sure there was no law banning the carrying of smokes and matches into planes. Hell, we can take this even further, before 9/11, you were actually allowed to smoke WHILE INSIDE THE DAMN PLANE. Something so unfathomable and unimaginable today, we'd have an easier time imagining the house of representatives running their sessions completely nude. That's how much power is behind the tobacco industry. The worst part is that lawmakers know they can't outright ban tobacco as that will go over about as well as the alcohol prohibition did. The best we can do to fight that poison is just to demonize it as much as we can and shun the practice for the disgusting harmful death sentence that it is.

[@eddietat95]

The industry is going the other direction and advocating for "smoker's rights" (see the Smokers Rights Movement). It's the same thing as fat acceptance and trans rights, just repackaged for the needs of Big Tobacco - the classic "my body, my choice" and "you can't judge me" argument. To their credit, no one is challenging them out of fear of looking bigoted. It's the future of the tobacco industry and it cannot be stopped.

[@TrineDaely]

You used to be able to smoke everywhere before the Clean Air Act. Planes, cars, movie theater seats, grocery stores - there were ashtrays *everywhere*. Yes, you can have a lighter and cigs with you on the plane. I'm a smoker and do carry-on luggage exclusively.

[@itsROMPERS...]

I remember flying when planes had smoking sections. It was horrible, absolutely disgusting. I also worked in a normal office where smoking was unrestricted. The guy at the next desk, who was also my best friend, was a smoker. He just said "sorry, I gotta smoke." When a got a small fan to blow to smoke away from me, I caused an uproar for my rude and selfish behavior.

[@Cloud30000]

Back when restaurants allowed smoking, I would keep a pack of Clove cigarettes on me; for some reason, most smokers found the smell rancid. When they lit up, so did I. When they asked if I could put it out, I would take a puff and turn to them, saying “I’m sorry, but it’s my right to smoke” while blowing it in there face. They usually left without getting their food and never returned; I slowly but surely reduced the occurrence of smoking at my regular restaurants.

[@itsROMPERS...]

"An effort to ridicule the American justice system by planting bizarre information." More than the actual stuff that happens now?

Scientology was raided by the FDA?!?! How you gonna say that and not explain why!?

Bad writing, Simon just reads it out.

The tobacco companies lobbied the government to ban vaping as many smokers were able to quit with help of vaping. I was never able to quit until vaping, and it was astonishingly easy. Lowered nicotine levels and quit with ease.

I believe there is an error in this video. Pinochet was removed from power in 1990, not 1978. Had he been removed from power in 1978, Sting would not have sung about him in the present tense in the 1980s song, “They Dance Alone.”

[@chapps80]

Pinochet kept (he gave it himself) a lifetime Senator charge till 1990, but wasn't overthrown at all on 78.

You forgot to add that the operation condor was backed by the us govt from the beginning

[@TomTom-yu1xp]

Pinochet wasn't overthrown in 1978. He remained in power until his defeat in a plebiscite in 1988, followed by the restoration of democratic elections in Chile.

What is with the junk room on the left??

[@tedipaduraru]

One day a smoker went to a shop and asked for a pack cigarettes, on the pack says "Smoking can cause impotence" . Rushes back to the shop and asks de lady.. "Can I have the one with cancer please?"

The tobacco companies’ actions are interesting. Some lies can last longer than everyone involved’s life, some last long enough that by the time the truth comes out no one cares. Their lies were never going to last long enough and when discovered, guaranteed the courts would come down on them like a ton of bricks - which they did to the tune of billions of dollars.

[@jameydunne3920]

The accountants and lawyers probably mathed out the earnings minus the future potential fines and realized they would still be ahead. They also probably diversified as they saw the lie wasn't working anymore, as others pointed out. In general, I am for capitalism. But when the machines driving capitalism get too big, they can become as bad as the bad governments capitalism fights against. The "Big (insert industry here) I'm presently most worried about is Big Pharma and Big Psychiatry. Especially after 2020, there is a lot of money being spent to make people feel bad so they can help you feel good. Beware any salesman who tries to fix a problem he/she created only to suddenly have the magical cure-all solution

Interesting video.😉

Most of those 'baccy companies are based in Norf Caroliiiiiner. Winston Salem. I grew up in rural NC my closest neighbour was 5 miles away and all in between was nothing but wood land and 'baccy fields and the house belonged to the farmer of the tobacco fields
