My #12 was a response and addition to #8, nothing more, nothing less. The rest were my responses to others.
Yeah, so. What you’ve said is still showing clear and silly fear.
The real cause of the drop in demand for cigars is the fad ended. There was a big fad for a while, and like all fads it went away. And that big fad happened even while the world knew smoking was bad for you. The reality is that EVERYTHING is bad for you, and there’s some study or another that proves it. Most of us don’t feel like living in a world of constant fear, so we ignore that show everything you eat drink breath hear and sea is bad for you and do what we want. And that might include smoking.
