Quitting Salems was one of the best things ever. Two pack a day habit, lighting up before getting out of bed. 1978.
Make the decision and do it.
Don’t “give it another go”.
Decide - execute.

The book/series The Leftovers has a cult-like group called The Guilty Remnant, and they all smoke. It was really strange to see so many people smoking on screen at one time. I'm almost surprised they allowed it to happen. Smoking has so much stigma attached to it these days. It's pretty comical at first sight: a bunch of people dressed in white, who have taken a vow of silence, chain-smoking. Cracked me up.

I found it annoying but there were a couple of episodes where it was what it aspired to be.
This is the government killing someone over a loitering law.
If Eric Garner finds a building to sell cigs in front of where the owner doesn't care, the cops aren't called (for the umpteenth time) and he's still alive.
If you legalize selling loose cigarettes, but you don't legalize loitering, the cops still get called on Eric Garner on a weekly basis, they still have a contentious relationship, etc.
Kind of worth re-iterating. The cops weren't on patrol and went after Eric Garner. They were summoned. By a property owner. Over and over and over and over again.
