Chaos In The Smokers' Den


In a recent discovery, the use of pig blood has been found inside cigarette filters. Communities out all over the world are freaking out, mostly the the Muslim and Jewish communities. Pig is forbidden to both communities as well as many cultures and religions around the world (one good example is india). Outrage among communities is growing throughout. Still, the cigarette companies are keeping mum about their ingredients! That kind of action will create nothing but chaos in the near future. Kinda reminds me of the independence rising in 1857 when the infamous Mangal Pandey and his fellow "freedom fighters" rebelled against the British's future induction of a new type of bullet cartridge that consisted of pig fat. They failed because they were high on opium, but the world today is fighting sober (well mostly lol). If you think about it, It's sort of the same situation. Except this time, it's much more international and it's the cigarette companies against the world. News reports show that the companies will release their ingredient lists in june, but something tells me that it's gonna happen much sooner. Mostly because this generation is impatient; which in this case is a good thing =)
