It’s been clear for a while that the war on tobacco is part of Deepstate’s war on civilization. The timeline is clear enough. It started after WW2 along with the other institutions of Deepstate. It cranked up in the ’70s along with Nixon’s environmentalism. It reached overdrive in 1990 when the Bush dynasty took over the reins. Now the war is extending from cigarettes to ALL forms of nicotine, following modern Nazi OCD lunacy.
Simultaneously, Deepstate has been ENCOURAGING alcohol use. “Doctors” have been telling us for decades that being near one cigarette for one second will kill you, but drinking one or two glasses a day is “beneficial”.
The real distinction is clear. Both habits have harms and benefits. The harms of alcohol dramatically outweigh the benefits. Heavy drinking will kill you FAST, in your 40s, and will rot your brain even faster. Heavy smoking will take about five years off your average life expectancy, and will improve your mental and physical IMMUNITY before it starts to show its damage. Drinkers are more likely to do crazy and destructive things. Smokers are more likely to do sane and creative things.
Deepstate wants us to be maximally vulnerable, alienated, brittle, sensitive to every microstimulus. Deepstate hates all forms of immunity and resilience.

If you wanted to sell your products to an animal, where would you start?
Aha! Nature has already answered the question.
Think especially about tomatoes. There’s plenty of evidence that humans live longer and better with tomatoes. I’ve experienced this in my own life. It’s a safe bet that we were designed to want and need tomatoes. Did we really get along for a million years without them?
It may seem strange that we would have specialized connections with certain plants, but why should it be strange? Nearly all animals have specialized connections with certain food sources. We’ve been smart enough to find and cultivate a huge variety of foods that we like, but that doesn’t exempt us from having specific needs and wants before we started farming and cooking.
Putting it another way: Nature doesn’t assume that a bee or a crow or a koala will learn which foods to eat through spoken or written transmission of culture. Nature gives those animals a specific sensory template to recognize their proper and necessary foods by sight and/or smell. Since we didn’t have spoken or written transmission of culture until rather late in our existence as a species, how did we know what to eat before we had words for things? Only one possible answer. We were given a specific sensory template, just like every other animal.
And here’s the key: NICOTINE. Tomatoes have a noticeable and tasteable trace amount of nicotine, as do most fruits.
Observed reality tells us:
Plants: Produce nicotine to repel and poison insects.
Humans: (1) Strongly addicted to nicotine. (2) Nicotine makes us calm and alert and creative and sociable.
But why should we be addicted to nicotine if it’s just a bug poison? And why should it have positive effects on us? Doesn’t make a lick of sense. We’re not bugs, and we came along after the plants vs bugs battle was set up.
Think in Grand Blueprint terms.
Purpose is all.
Inescapable conclusions:
Nicotine serves two purposes in plants. To poison bugs and to addict mammals, so the mammals will eat the fruit and poop the seeds elsewhere. We are the plant’s wings.
Nicotine serves two purposes in humans. (1) It serves to attract us and addict us to fruits, so we will gain the other necessary nutrients in fruits. (2) When we consume nicotine we get along better. Societies that get along better last longer.
It’s a double win on both sides, though we probably get the best end of the deal.
Plants get poop-wings. We get nutrition from fruits, and those of us who eat fruits last longer as individuals AND as civilizations, giving wings to more plants.
Nature’s marketing strategy! Equip fruits with taste, color and nicotine. Grab our attention with the color, get us addicted with the nicotine. We get nutrition and civilization, plants get a commission in the form of seed carriers.
You could call it teaching instead of advertising, since good teaching and good marketing are nearly identical. A good salesman gives you valuable information that helps you to buy his product; a good teacher gives you a positive experience that helps you to buy her valuable information.
