They did… and it caused most people to stop smoking. Building that social stigma was like one of the best health marketing campaigns in history.

I say this as someone who used to and still does smoke time to time.

Gives you more lung space to inhale your own farts!

  Even our farts smell better when you don’t smoke.

Many people that smoke are already mentally unbalanced. Making them a shamed pariah is doing little for their mental health, it is just forcing them to hide yet another bit of their unhappiness.

Not smoking is healthier, no doubt, but the majority of people that still do it undoubtedly have enough shame going on. Self hate comes into play, as well.

  I smoke. Shame and self hatred is exactly right.
