The guy you are engaged to and never slept with says he's pregnant. dr is shocked, but confirms it! WTF?

He says an angel came to him and said this was special child and asks you to continue with marriage.

By law, in this weird land, you have right to abandon relationship or even have him stoned to death... for cheating.

After pondering this scenario, at night, an angel comes to give reassurance this is a good thing to stay with your man because God impregnated him... and to flee to a weird and dangerous place for safety, like a homeless camp under a bridge in San Francisco, where your man would have his baby in "safety".

...

FWIW... this is the position Joseph from the Bible was in and he chose, based upon what is recorded, to stay with Mary and make more children with her and raise Jesus... the child in question... as his own.

1st, Can we MAKE someone quit? What sin tax percentage is it going to take to make them quit or are subsidies for tobacco farmers the real problem? Tobacco use is linked to HALF A MILLION deaths annually in the US alone.

Are people who can't quit "weak"?

FYI: smoking cessation products and programs are subsidized under MANY health insurance plans in the U. S. Almost all health insurance plans cover tobacco cessation treatments. Additionally, "Pay to Quit" direct cash programs have been shown to improve cessation rates among socioeconomically disadvantaged adults.

Is it the (declining) social acceptability of cigarettes that's the problem? FYI: Smokers, if you wanna get laid quit NOW! A Match. com survey revealed:
• 57% of survey respondents said they would NEVER date a smoker
• 89% of respondents preferred not to date a smoker
• 56% of women surveyed would NEVER date a smoker

Profitability varies, as an example, in 2018, Imperial Brands reported a profit margin of 46%. Retailers, however, often experience low profit margins, typically between 4-6%.

Is all of this for nothing because of the rise of vaping?

E-cigarette products can have markups as high as 400% and HAVE NO federal taxes. State taxes vary from 95% of the product to a.05¢ nickel per product. Worldwide smoking trends are declining, though the number of smokers remains high. As of 2020, 22% of the world
used tobacco w/ significant gender differences: 37% of men & 8% of women smoked. Smoking prevalence has decreased by 27% for men and 38% for women since 1990.
