Yeah, tobacco companies are definitely dirty, but people need to hold themselves accountable too. I smoked for 15 years before I managed to quit, so I understand how difficult it is, but ultimately, the tobacco companies don't smoke the cigarettes for you.

Idk, that one pack of smokes that had the eyeball and said "smoking causes blindness" would make me buy it cuz it looks cool 🤣

6:20 One-fifth or 20% of the population, that is a similar number compared to the Netherlands. I think these are not numbers to worry about. It's merely the amount of tobacco people use every day. Three cigarettes a day is a lot less than twenty-three (a whole box of cigarettes).
But I prefer Swedish snus (chew-tobacco). But outside Sweden it is hardly to buy in the EU, unfortunately.

I smoke cigarettes for 10 years. From 20 years old to 30. $20,000+ wasted, unnecessary health scares and lung infections.. so glad I was able to quit. I did try vaping but that was a terrible experience too. Because it messed with my lymph nodes in my neck. Now I can’t stand to be around them or people who smell of them.

@oscartang4587u3
May 4, 2026 at 8:00 pm
Hasn’t one country conducted research before, concluding that the early death of smokers saves the government money on pensions and elderly care, offsetting the costs of treating smoking-related diseases? Seems the Chinese government take notes. The Chinese health system is district-based. If you work in a city, your tax goes to the city's healthcare system; if your parents live in the village, your tax would never go to help them.

Tobacco? Are you serious? I was expecting pollution or poor workplace safety. It's like blaming the deaths from car crashes on the company that made the car.

China makes 2.5 trillion dollars from export you think they care about cigarettes that much? Wtf is wrong with this channel. How about make a video about how US pharma writes the laws that gets passed from out congress.
