      You can tell that it is because of it wasn’t it would have the tobacco brand emblazoned all over it.

      As if Marlboro would create a mascot that didn’t have their logo on it! They’re be walking down the street handing out packs of 20 to kids.

      It is a little strange that they are both holding the ends of the cigarette that is supposedly lit with all that smoke.

      Yeah, it is. Always check the hands. They’re fucked up on the cigarette guy and the guy presumably with cancer.

    This reminds me of the efforts made against tobacco and for cleaner air in certain areas, but it also reminds me how we do this for other things too.

    Radium toothpaste, lead paint and asbestos curtains.

    So, as someone that sees cars as a significant source of pollution, from exhausts, brake pads and tires, I find it ironic that some places are banning outdoor smoking in public areas while it’s perfectly acceptable to drive a gas guzzler around and among those places.

    Like, I’m so grateful nobody can smoke around me on that restaurant’s terrace, this way I can fully enjoy breathing the pollution from the thousand of cars around.
