How to fix ramraids:
1.Tell the truth about smoking. Dr Doll was paid $10million by Dow Chemicals to make the connection between cigarette smoking and lung cancer. Everyone who knows anything knows lung cancer is caused by diesel particulates. That’s why cancer hasn’t decreased. That’s why if you live in a high traffic area you are more at risk from particulate poisoning. Never a mention either of atmospheric tests carried out at Mururoa and Bikini Atoll by France and the US and how cancer rates have increased since then.
2.Drop the price of tobacco. Before this nonsense began a packet of 20 cigarettes cost $2.00 and the government tax take from tobacco even then was in the $billions. Smokers paid for their own medical needs and for the needs of non-smokers. What does it matter if people choose to smoke? Whatever the government tells you, they don’t give a damn about your health. After the so-called pandemic, we all know that. Nicotine has calming and antiseptic benefits. Remember – people who smoked were least likely to get flu I mean covid. But the govt doesn’t want a calm population, happy with a coffee and a cigarette. They want a population doped up by pharma. Now govt is going to criminalise growing certain herbs. Already we can’t buy camphor, mothballs, or lye to make soap, and my latest search for dispirin was an unhappy one. Things are disappearing under the guise of supply chain problems. They won’t be back. Even good food is going and there is a 12.5% tax on your grocery bill now to compensate for lost tobacco taxes. Those virtuous non-smokers who helped to bring this situation about will eventually find something they enjoy being taken from them, courtesy of Klaus Schwab, who has told you everything he intends to do to you.
