My own sister died of lung cancer due to this shit of tobacco at the age of 53 .
You would be ready to kill relatives for you fucking lobbying pro-tobacco .
People like you are the dregs of society .
Fortunately people get clever with the use of new technologies and cranks of your kind are more and more being thank for evil puppets .

Smokerphobia = idiots who cannot think for themselves and believe anything and everything fed to them by some fraudulent charity that feeds off their hard earned taxes!
