For Chinese Students, Smoking Isn’t All Bad

[NeutralCitizen]

I was a smoker myself a while ago.

You can tell when you're actually smoking it... you can tell that it's harmful, it doesn't make you feel good, hurts your lungs, and honestly it just tastes like sh*t. The only good thing was the 1st cigarette in the morning, that was literally the only enjoyable part... the rest was just crap.

I've only smoked Marijuana once with LSD, changed me, actually it seemed to Open my Mind after that experience I got calmer and wiser my first was my last.

Surprising part is these are not some blood sucking privately owned corporations(as happens elsewhere) but govt run and state owned tobacco companies..so is the will of Chinese govt?

That doesn't make sense. The Chinese Government is the one who banned all tabacco-related advertising in the first place.

And here they found a way to bypass their own law..so what does that tell you about the govt ?

That doesn't make sense (again). If they wanted to, they could just overturn the ban on tabacco advertising in the first place.

Why ban it, and then try to sneak around it yourself, and only in one particular rural area at that? Why not just get rid of the ban in the first place? What kind of logic is that.

Well at least you enjoyed it. Too bad you let it go……

Anyways it’s not as if the ads are forcing you to go buy ciggs…

Peace

Read my post properly.

I was a smoker myself for a short while.

You're literally flushing money down the toilet, making yourself feel uncomfortable, and increasing the risk of lung cancer at the same time. Why would you pay for that.

In case you missed it, I'll clarify again... I hated it.

Give a sane explanation how a state owned Tobacco company is allowed promote false claims on benefit of Tobacco to children..if it is not the govt will?

It shows deceit..they trying to portray something, they are not willing to implement.

State owned companies are everywhere, and are granted a considerable amount of autonomy in running their businesses.

It is unrealistic to expect the Government to check every single action of these companies. These companies are beyond massive.

And maybe you can answer my question this time: If they really wanted to, why wouldn't they just overturn the ban on tabacco advertising in the first place? It's them who banned it in the first place.

And why only in one small rural area? Where is your logic?

Actually doesn't surprise me much in the rural areas of Russia Kids were allowed to smoke as early as 9 years old in Public and schools from the yeltsin era.

Plausible deniability seldom works especially in a "be all and do all " govt setup like China.

Now why would they not overturn law..as I explained before .."deceit" they have promulgated a law which they not willing to implement..find it easier to bypass it..rather overturn it...less hue and cry.

Besides who cares about some far flung rural area kid..or have some Chinese media outlets reported this?

Hahaha, and you guys accuse Pakistanis of believing in conspiracy theories.

Weren't you claiming in your last post that the Tobacco company has carried out this action on its own behest and your govt has no idea about this..I am guessing you must be having some tangible proof to support this??..or aren't you one too "Mr Conspiracy theorist"??

 

[zer_0]

The tobacco industry itself isn't any more highly taxed than any other industry. Their products ARE heavily taxed however those
taxes are paid by the consumer, not the tobacco companies.SO BAN on tobacco is unlikely to Happen
