Cigarette Conspiracy

Have you ever noticed how many cigarette butts you'll find in one given area? Or how many stores and locations are "No Smoking" places? Or how high cigarette sales have been and remain, and the same for the number of smokers? It's all connected. Every time a smoker goes into a no-smoking establishment, if they're smoking they have to put out the cigarette. Once they leave, they probably light another one up. Add that to laws about smoking in public places, your home, and wherever, and you realize how often this can happen to one smoker. And it means they probably have to buy cigarette cartons a lot more often. No-smoking laws might be a useful thing to help prevent fires, second hand smoke, and various other problems, but it's all just an extremely effective ad for cigarettes. Smoking bans in places like pubs didn't get passed sooner because the cigarette companies fully backed the opponents of the proposals, until they realized how much money they could make from it. Who needs more smokers when you can maintain a more or less stable number and make them buy more? And guess who manufactures the nicotine patches and whatnot?
