This guy has been a role model to millions of my generation. When we lit up a cigarette we wanted to light it up like he did or one of our "role models": James Bond or some guy in a western. Nothing was cooler then than smoking with style. To his credit he did a interview against smoking.
There is another ad of a famous ex-smoker warning us not to smoke. Let me look for it.
I was going to write that I wondered what the percentage is for Dodoland. Then I googled it and found something interesting: Russian men are more likely to be smokers than anybody else (70%) while women from Nauru -- aka Pleasant Island -- top the charts with 52.4%. And, interestingly, guess where women have the 7th smallest prevalence rate?
South Koreans are fast on their feet. A bit like Germans who understood very quickly what had happened at Fukushima. Haven't heard anything about the French taking away something from that disaster.
Australia is already changing its law for cigarette packaging to the yuckiest brown from the 'neutral' white which Dodoland is sluggishly proposing to counter the tobacco industry...
Well, well, well: giving out opioids freely to addicts in order to curb criminality - counterintuitive (really?) but effective. Can Dodoland copy? Sorry, we are still to assimilate that the US are now removing penalties for consuming Mary Jane. And in any case, as one observer said once, if you resolve the drug problem, so many NGO's will be out of work...
A Portuguese way of dealing with crime that thrives on addiction that Dodoland's NGO's (read: BONGOs and PONGOs) will probably omit for fear of losing their purpose...

What a coincidence: third Marlboro man dies from smoking-related disease. And I wonder why this type of news is never aired.

Ah, a nice infographic to nail it down for you.

After Bhutan, South Korea is aiming at a tobacco-free society.

Well, well, well: England is seeing its tobacco consumption sink to an all-time low. Their recipe is starting to pay off...
Plain-packaging is on it's way here right?
Let's hope people realise that, however you disguise it, a smoking remains toxic.

There are better alternatives. More on this later.

Why not get people hooked on other drugs like working out, swimming, cooking, writing, composing music, hiking, football, etc?
Of course, if used in conjuction with some Icelandic common sense...
So, addiction has many cures. Up to us to find the one adapted to our context...
