You don't want to die for your country but make the enemy die for his............. My father survived the war but lost probably 20 good years at the other end of his life from lung cancer and emphysema. He knew that the smoking habit he started in the Air Force was the cause of his bad health. Back then not many folk had realised the serious health implications of smoking.

Freedom to choose.

The worst idea ever. Politically correct does not fly in foxholes.

Worked well for Joe Kennedy and other alcohol runners

I was certain there was more than straight razors that we agreed upon

About 8 years ago I got 3 timed shots for Anthrax resistance......I literally felt my blood boil as the shots went into my arm. I was a smoker at the time and cigarettes were the last thing that would have worried me. The burning sensation was. I swear that I received a few shots that had strange colors, I was not told exactly what they do.......backward ideas....

Your right, every cloud has a silver lining!
I completly forgot, that control and prohibition always leads to black marketing and MONEY

They learned their lesson, and this time they are bringing about prohibition (of smoking) by degrees, gradually whittling away where it is allowed, advertising, where sales can happen, etc.

Once the method is proven they will probably apply it to alcohol.

So what we have here is one of the biggest attemps at social engineering by governments since the NAZIS ? Interesting!
