The government benefits from smoking taxes, and the trial lawyers that support the government benefit from smoking settlements. Nevertheless, the tobacco companies, which also produce many of our basic foodstuffs, are still allowed to play a prominent role in American politics.

In New York State, some counties ban smoking from any restaurant which cannot provide a totally separate ventilation system (separate rooms) for smokers and nonsmokers.

This transition should be subsidized for several reasons- first of all, it poses an involunary loss of business to those who are running restaurants. If "eminent domain" laws force compensation for governmental appropriation of property for a just cause, the smoking restrictions, supposedly to promote good health, should likewise compensate business owners.

Secondly, the early death of smokers does not deter their effective contribution to the national economy. The smoker buys these cigarettes, spending money in a "Pyramid" pattern; this is an allusion to the original economic and political purposes of the Egyptians when they built their pyramids: The pyramids were meant to soak up excess wealth, deterring any potential instability caused by those lower on the totem pole fighting to acquire this wealth. Likewise, the entire smoking industry and the accordant medical conditions can be described, along with the entertainment industry, as "Pyramids." Just like it is necessary to burn excess food crop, we must burn excess food and cash.

Philip Morris recently published a study about the lighter side of smoking: in the Czech Republic, the early deaths of smokers may cause a financial boon to a cash strapped government which cannot afford to provide them services in the later years of life.

"We are not in any way suggesting that the social cost of smoking is of benefit to society," a Morris spokesman said.

However, those social costs are of benefit to society as a whole. There's a death deficit in this world; people are dying of things like AIDS, malnutrition, and cholera; things that are not always self inflicted, as smoking damage nearly always is. The smoker, rather than the innocent, starving kid, should die; the money saved by the smoker's death can save the kid.

Perhaps, when the global fascist order finally takes over completely, they can remove all health benefits for smokers while removing all restrictions on smoking. Then, the resultant depopulation will free up funds for AIDS relief, malnutrition, and other pressing health issues.
