Thank you for smoking, maybe it has nothing to do with smoking

After watching this film, it is very interesting and chaotic. There are so many exciting perspectives to cut through and weird and strange views to praise and criticize. Politics, education, ethics, trust between people, and even talent. But when I felt confused, I began to think about some stupid problems. Smoking is harmful to health, idiots know, but why do people still produce it? Some people smoke it? Can businessmen who choose tobacco production be lacking in their responsibility and morality? Profit, of course. If the source is the manufacturer, is it possible to use moral force to make tobacco production disappear? It's really stupid, I admit, because when everything exists naturally, but suddenly you discover that it shouldn't exist that way, you may think of the brain short-circuiting. Nick appeared on the opposite side of morality, so that I could not escape the entanglement of moral criticism. But there are some details and branches that are more attractive. There are various industry association mods in the United States with small devil horns that can cause high mortality. It is the sophistry of the Anti-Tobacco Association that hopes that people get sick. Don’t believe your mother is not an expert. Why the US government is the best government in the world, the effect of Hollywood stars leading the blind flow, the peachy trap of hot beauty reporters, and so on. This world should be so chaotic. Various choices, traps, waves, ideas, and how much power do morality have? How much decision power does morality have? Morality is only a pillar of life, but a life supported by only one pole will collapse. Whether it is the smoke bomb of the lobbyist or the beauty trick of the reporter, everyone is constantly setting traps for others for their own benefit; tobacco, guns, alcohol, and deadly temptations are everywhere; can we all kill them. But in the face of all this, the gate is in our hands, and the switch is in our hands. All we do is to identify and choose. This is the basic right and ability that a person should have. This is the task of education. Teach your children knowledge and cultivate their independent thinking and decision-making abilities. Then if your son is 18 years old and wants to smoke, buy him the first pack. This is also the responsibility of the government. Use words to explain the hazards on the packaging, respect consumers' right to know and choose, instead of threatening them with a skull to "buy? Wait for death!" Then back to the question, why the US government is the best in the world government? Is it crime, is it poverty, literacy? And American definitely not best.. Perhaps not even better than most. We do have a very entertaining government. Some people may say that this is a satirical tone of the government. But in my opinion, it is not a satire or a compliment, it should be regarded as a kind of approval. After all, in terms of the people's free choice, including guns, assemblies, speech, etc., the US government has done a good job. (Especially compared to some countries, aha)
Thank you for smoking, maybe it has nothing to do with smoking. To the government, to protect people's right to choose. For education, cultivate children's ability to choose. For the individual, making the right choice is the responsibility of the individual and the society.
