I think I've smoked 5 cigars in my life but my buddy and I were in a place that sold them. We had one each so we could say "We smoked Roberto Duran".

Utterly puerile and childish but made us laugh.

research indicates that smoking is much more likely to lead to an increased hemoglobin count, which can lead to diseases like secondary polycythemia

Higher hemoglobin levels are an independent risk factor for adverse metabolism and higher mortality in a 20-year follow-up

In conclusion, our study showed that continuous cigarette smoking has severe adverse effects on haematological parameters (e.g., hemoglobin, white blood cells count, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, red blood cells count, hematocrit) and these alterations might be associated with a greater risk for developing atherosclerosis, polycythemia vera, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and/or cardiovascular diseases.

Your rhyming prose was annoying me so I had to google it.
The Beastie Boys - Fight For Your Right (To Party) 1986

Knew I'd heard it somewhere before.

Imagine if they have the same idea about alcohol? Not as weird as it may seem. 40 years ago as you puffed your John Player Special on the back of the plane, you would never have imagined that in the future smokers would be hunted down and cast in the role of social lepers.

20 years from now some governments might decide that drink is next. They can do it if they want. Look at covid, people being told what they could and could not do in their own houses (no more than 6 people allowed and a minimum 1.5 metre distance at all times) and the public nodded like lemmings and did as they were told.

The cost alcohol has on society is 100 times that of smoking. From health issues, to creating family and social issues, policing, prisons etc.

Drink as much as you can now, they are coming for booze next
