So the govts are death merchants even more than cartels. This along with spying on their own citizens is all for our own freedom and good, to live in the manner to which we are accustomed. Put your trust in leaders and modern technology? Not I.

But this is how cartels operate, with boundless greed, lying and deception. Money is their god, at the expense of millions, even billions of lives. They are inhuman scum, just like the Big 4 music cartels. Then there's the oil cartels which are blithely oblivious to destroying the world economy, so long as they can keep the ill-gotten wealth amassing at ever more increasing rates. But smokers will look at the above picture through weary bleary eyes and rebel against another warning. They figure it's their life and body to do with as they please. To hell with everyone else. They can handle the poisons. They're indestructible, right? Who wants to live forever anyway? Funny that all the smokers I knew who died prematurely didn't want to go, no matter how old they'd managed to live to. Nor do others sympathize really at their demise of course, as they chose to suicide for no reason. Just like vegetation which is here today and tomorrow thrown into the oven.
