There are no fair drugs
T. wants to quit smoking. Not because she is so shocked by the new pictures on the cigarette packets or because she once saw one of these encrusted smoking lungs. She is not pregnant either. “It is simply inconsistent when you live as we do,” she thinks. By that, she means: Eating organic, changing clothes, instead of buying and generally finding exploitation stupid. Hedonism in the form of drugs and tobacco no longer fits in with her political attitude. Smoking promotes exploitation and child labor, coke and other drugs strengthen cartels, prostitution, and life-threatening smuggling. We have known this not only since Netflix and “Narcos”.
