They aren't defending smoking. They're referring to the industry and its ethos when it originally grew. While smoking was established as being bad for health in the mid-20th century, this wasn't as clear in the late 19th and early 20th, when the tobacco industry boomed and brought many jobs to the southern US economy.

- TeaBrain 2y agoI take it you're being purposefully obtuse, but I was referring to the person you responded to.

- TeaBrain 2y agoNo, that was honestly how I interpreted your comment. That may have been the wrong interpretation, but your two word reply didn't leave me with much. I possibly misinterpreted your first comment also, but I wasn't really sure how you were leaning there, whether it be just an absurdity or a question honestly pondered.
- AlbertCory 2y agoOK. All you see when you hit Threads is what YOU said. Not what the person above you said.
