Dying for big tobacco: omg what a tragedy

Pick your corporate servitude carefully kids
It should be pointed out that the vast majority of the military are in support career fields, not combat units. Also, the GI Bill absolutely makes it worth it.
Yeah less than ten percent is combat trained and tasked and only a tenth of them (so 1% of the total) are combat veterans.
Most of the people you've thanked for their service probably worked at a job that civilians do everyday like fixing things or doing paperwork. Just in a uniform.
My primary job was a logistics account, but that meant I had to inventory high value items at Forward Operating Bases in Iraq and Afghanistan and I drove in a few convoys, only once anything significant happened.

Government: Tobacco is dangerous. You need to be 21 to buy it

Can't you, like, buy weed at 18? Or what about vapes? Plenty of literal children using those.
There's no state that allows recreational purchase under 21. Vapes are considered a tobacco product regardless of nicotine content and also require you to be 21.
And youth ain't gonna have the chance to drink until they turn 21 ffs.
My parents would buy RTD spirits for my sister aged 15 when she was going to a friend's party or something. They're cops
In certain parts of America.
Forever annoyed that my students have to get recruiters in our school to show up and try to persuade them to join ARMY, NAVY, etc.
🫠 Worst of all was when one of them showed up on International PEACE Day.
Yeah, but on the other hand: fuck tobacco, smoking and all drugs. Drugs are for losers.
Yeah, but when you're stoned, you don't care if you're a loser. That's the point of getting stoned.
