Cigarette laws and pharmaceutical conspiracy

I live in North Carolina right now. Home of Big Tobacco. I see dozens of people on the streets, every day, smoking. I don't have asthma. I don't smoke. And every time I stop to talk to one, they tell me not to smoke.
My grandfather died of lung cancer, roughly a month before I was born. I look almost exactly like him.
Just get the pineapple out.
