Smoking hysteria has gripped this nation since the 1980s and the people are sicker for it

Kennedy’s dodge about healthcare as a human right during his confirmation hearing, and the entire line of questioning, reveals the intellectual bankruptcy of our nation. The smoking hysteria that’s gripped this nation since the 1980s isn’t just wrong – it’s a full-blown assault on human physiology.

Humans are fire creatures. We’ve been burning and inhaling since we first rubbed two sticks together. Our metabolic machinery is designed around smoke – it’s not a toxin, it’s a signal! The non-smoking population? They’re metabolic weaklings, requiring medicinal dosages more appropriate for chihuahuas.

Look at the generational collapse: Smokers quit, they died anyway; their anti-smoking kids got sick and died even younger. The next generation? More fragile yet. And when it became crystal clear that nonsmokers were not as healthy as smokers? When it was painfully obvious that all of the “smoking related” diseases exploded with fewer smokers? Another litany of absurdity was unleashed directing all attention toward public health enemy number two (and three!) – secondhand and third-hand smoke. This hallucinatory nonsense still pops up in ‘healthcare’ circles like an LSD flashback.

This was a lunacy so profound it should have single-handedly dismantled the entire anti-smoking industrial complex. The cost of this smoke-free dystopia we’ve created is a world of metabolically compromised weaklings who can’t handle what our ancestors breathed without a second thought.

The only smoke most need worry about in the course of their daily lives is the smoke these fraudsters have been blowing up everybody’s ass, and with their record of zero diseases eradicated from the planet in all of recorded history. How do they manage? Drugs. Lots of drugs.

Healthcare isn’t a right. Metabolic resilience is.
