The similarities of this with the mortgage crisis is stunning. Regulations that go against reality (loans that no bank would ever make without being forced to by gov't, or making tobacco companies responsible for individuals' own decisions) create toxic packages that decrease in value, when people can't pay back the loans or the cigarette sales fall. d'uh.....

With the new laws forcing people to take shots (vaccines), or join the state's slavery facilities aka the chain gang, combined with the headlines of last year about new improved scientific ways to quit smoking (shots, pills, surgery), there's probably another behind closed door meeting going on we should be aware of. Nicotine vaccine. http://www.gizmag.com/new-nicotine-vaccine/35740/

They were assured their income, until vaping came along.
1989 study classified nicotine as more addictive than the big H word. Nytimes ran a blurb about it.
1990's, Health groups handed out free nicotine GSK gum to elementary schools. Google Boy, 14, collapses after chewing (180? Pieces) free nicotine gum.
Then continue searching for other parables. Study shows why stress makes ex-smokers light up again ---- smoking bans begin, get worse, etc,
Hurry though. Google seems to be hit & miss lately.
