From the article: “Can you imagine John Wayne without a rifle or Humphrey Bogart without a cigarette?
Both are part of our narrative. Both have killed millions and millions of us.”
Guns have also saved many lives, while cigarettes have not, so that’s a really big flaw in the comparison.
My mom might disagree. Many times would she sit down to cool off and smoked a cigarette when she wanted to kill my dad.
