Newsflash, smoking cigarettes is the number one cause of preventable death in the WORLD. It's the single worst thing you can do for your health especially as you age. I smoked at one time, for an 18 year span of my life. Started young smoking in special hiding spots on my paper route when I was 12 years old. I started because, in the 70s everyone smoked including my dad. It was socially acceptable. I knew it wasn't doing me well but smoked all through my teens and 20s but quit when I was 29. Had I still been smoking, I would have OWED years because all the men on my dad's side of the family had heart attacks by age 44 except those who stopped smoking. They all died young. I can't say that I didn't enjoy it. Especially hiding cigarettes in the woods in a few scattered rusting cars along with little "Winchester" cigars and cans of snuff and "Red Man" chewing tobacco. We hid all of it in plastic bags somewhere inside the rusted wrecks. We kids would make trek to those cars and indulge in a splurge of tobacco products like fugitives from society. It was really fun and memorable. (I lived in the suburbs so THAT was excitement to us).

A plague of any animal is quite simply and imbalance in the natural food chain. Since our whole ecosystem is now in utter imbalance because of geoengineering, we are seeing just the beginning of these sorts of plagues.
