Smokers in front, they shouted.
I was half watching a very old Superman movie and at some moment there was a situation at a train station.
The movie had aged a lot so I went back to my old memories, when smoking was so cool that I started to smoke without the permission of my parents.
Back then, the best commercials were those of cigarettes. I still remember "Light up a light smoke, a Lucky Strike". That was my brand for decades until I quit.
The first times I traveled, there were ashtrays in the plane. After the ciggies were forbidden there, you reached the airport and the first thing you did was to take your cigarette.
My father stopped smoking after he worked for over a year in a cancer institute. My mother quit very late in her life but the damage was done.
I quit over 10 years ago, but I have an emphysema. The Marlboro cowboy did not know he would get cancer and make other people have it.
Why is it legal and other drugs aren“t? How many people get rich killing others? Is there a cartel?

Liquor can kill too; and that's legal. Fortunately not as many people smoke today as did back in the 40s, 50s and 60s.

In my generation, the amount of people killed early of lung cancer is incredible.

@LindaOHio It is a pity. Nobody told us that it was so bad for our health.

That is a shame. As it is a shame to send innocent people to fight for wars they do not understand. And I bet that none of the powerful people ill die of COVID-19.
