Don’t worry kid, they will start you off on a starter kit. It has cigarettes especially made for smaller hands.

Odd that the teacher is irresponsibly absent.

When I see Mr. Butts, why am I reminded of Mitch McConnell?

Keep swinging there butt head. All you need to do is hold on until Mr. Dooby can take over.

Sister Vape took over for Mr. Butts.

Eat ’em up…or at least their lungs.

When I lived in Capitola, I would occasionally meet up with a World War II veteran. He suffered from COPB (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). He would recount how the tobacco companies were only too happy to provide “free tobacco” to airmen during special promotions so they could brag about it in their advertising.

Li’L Dude is still under the misperception that adults don’t lie to kids.

What were the citizens of Virginia smoking?

What is really hilarious is that when Trudeau wrote this 24 years ago, he thought he was doing some good. Facts today show kids still smoking or vaping.

a few years ago i was getting an email per week with the ‘free vape starter kit’. we now know ‘the industry’ hooked MILLIONS of youths on nicotine

It’s a trap, a slippy slope to smoker’s hell. Been there and manage to escape. Price to leave that man made hell was 1 heart attack, 2 strokes, and 3 rounds of cancer.

I hate this character even more than the “Jim Crow” one, if that’s possible. Well done, Mr. Trudeau!
