not to be totally anal, but in 'western' culture, tobacco smoking has
_always_ been associated with moral laxitude and the profits of elite
corporations; see for instance early c17 moralists' views on tobacco
consumption and the economics of tobacco production in Virginia of the
same era, where generally poor planters supplied cheap tobacco to the
corporations that sold it on in England at great profit.  

But I digress from 'mod' topics....
