      This sounds like a joke, but cigarettes were in fact used to treat asthma at some point.

        Datura Stramonium cigarettes to be precise. That plant can give you a nasty horror trip if you consume to much of it.

            If you really do, blend the dried leaves from multiple plants. The psychoactive ingredients can be unevenly distributed throughout the plant. This means that you could unintentionally overdose without changing the amount you take.

          This vodka goes down smooth! Almost no taste, that’s how you know it’s good.

          Vodka drinkers are alcoholics with no taste, prove me wrong

            Counterpoint, I love the pure absence of taste that some high quality Wodka has. I think it’s fascinating how even water seems to taste more in comparison.

    Many seeing this are far too young to even remember when doctors actually endorsed cigarette smoking. There were ads in magazines and newspapers for brands of cigarette with the picture of a doctor and his reasons why this particular brand was the best one to smoke

      To be clear, when you say doctors endorsed cigarette smoking, a small percentage of doctors were duped into endorsing it and their recommendations boosted by the tobacco industry.

      I’ve got my Grandfather’s old copy of The Boy’s Companion published before the date in that meme, and it’s very clear in its message that smoking is bad for you. They’ve known it was harmful to health since at least the 17th century, and tobacco was only brought to Europe in the 16th.

      The cunts who sent that mascot to the hospital fucking KNEW. (edit: or at least they would have if they existed, it looks like the whole thing might have been AI generated)

      According to Gemini, this photo is 100% real because “The image caption states it’s from 1948. AI image generation technology as we know it today did not exist at that time.”

      Because we all know that’s completely impossible to write a fake caption over an image
