This is insane. Nicotine is the single worst thing that ever happened to me.

Damn. I can’t believe you weren’t consulted.

It's like we are walking backwards towards the future.

Can we at least moonwalk into the future?

No. Now put in your Zyn pouch and get back to work.

Fine but I'm going to use my legally mandated 10 second break to complain quietly to myself.

I noticed they are more often in movies and shows now. I thought we had laws against that.

I'm actually a little surprised it took them so long. They'd been selling brain pills for over a decade and anyone who's done stimulants knows they make you feel smarter (without actually making you smarter), and nicotine is really addictive. It's a perfect grift if you can get away with it
