    Huh.

    I thought about going into all of that, but at this point in the US it’s still mostly speculative, since they haven’t gotten the bans in place yet, and these pretentios fucksticks would never believe it anyway.

    I didn’t know that it’s actually happened in Australia. That’s unfortunate, but it’ll provide me with an example in the future.

    It’s a fairly standard corporate move though. The biggest corporations lobby for a bunch of restrictions and requirements on their own industry because they’re in a position to meet them, but they’ll serve as a barrier to entry for potential competition.

    So it’s possible - arguably even likely - that these self-righteous asshats crying about the evil tobacco companies are actially effectively (or even literally) working for those very companies.

    Which is just another reason why I have nothing but scorn and disdain for them.
