      There’s a strange resurgence of cigarettes across social media. It’s weird.

        Some may say “weird”, I say “astroturfed”. This post is illegal in the jurisdictions lemmy.world is hosted in. Online advertisement of tobacco products is illegal in many jurisdictions. I’ve already reported it, and I’d encourage others to do the same.

        Nothing weird about it. End of the world seems within our sights. Perfect time to pick up a self-destructive habit, imo 😅

        For real though, i quit a few years back and it’s been such a game-changer. I also chalk the fact that i did something positive and healthy as the reason why we seem to be nearing a potential ‘end-of-world’ scenario. If i just would have continued suckin down those cancer sticks we would likely be in a much better position, globally. Sorry guys 😬

        The world’s falling apart; might as well pick up a bad habit or two.

    I’m pretty sure this is a joke about the propensity for building industry workers to be smokers, and not an ad for Marlboro. Seems to have been taken as humor by the votes and the comments, so I’m inclined to leave it. Not making a call on legality. Happy for others to make different judgements.
