    Because of the National Security Act, the laws of the United States, and the rules of this platform I cannot freely share my feelings on the contents of this article.

    Just imagine what I might say using the above statement as context. Here’s a hint, I’m on the side of Greenpeace.

        My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, ‘If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.’. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don’t ever smoke. Please don’t put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your post gave me cancer anyway.

    And this is why we need to tax or axe billionaires out of existence. I mean yes, let them choose. But one or the other.
