Gae Bolga Wrote:but it would completely fuck anyone who depends on our current consumer habits to put food on their own plate.If we all suddenly stopped smoking, those poor people who work on tobacco farms in Cuba might, for all we know, end up starving. Therefore, we shouldn't stop smoking. Does that make sense?
