Driving out the devil with the beelzebub
LaunchesKayaks, 
I miss r/asbestosremovalmemes. It wasn’t a big enough community to try to replicate here on Lemmy. Asbestos memes are so goddamn funny to me.
NutWrench, 
I remember the “micronite” filter in their advertisements. I had no idea it was made out of freaking asbestos.
MacNCheezus, 
It’s accurate, I checked it myself: snopes.com/…/kent-cigarettes-asbestos-filters/
rimjob_rainer, Holy shit, how long would one live without lung cancer smoking these? Directly inhaling fibers which never will leave your lung again. Did anyone smoke these for the years they existed and lived without lung cancer?
charles, (edited ) From the asbestos.com link someone else posted:
Asbestos exposure is the primary cause of pleural mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer, but inhaling asbestos also multiplies a smoker’s risk of developing lung cancer fiftyfold or greater.
The carcinogenic risk of asbestos exposure and cigarette smoking is exponentially higher than the risk of each exposure added. This is known as the synergistic effect of asbestos exposure and smoking.

set_secret, jesus, blue asbestos too the literal worst of them…

r3df0x, It reminds me of slavaboos breathing through asbestos gas mask filters.
MystikIncarnate, Here’s some cancer to help protect you from all the cancer.

MacNCheezus, Just fuck my shit up
ipkpjersi, Just fuck my lungs up
thedeadwalking4242, What’s the point of trying to filter the smoke anyway. The smoke is the part that gives you the feeling. If you put a full air filter on the front end of a cigarette and took a clean breath of air why the fuck would you buy cigarettes. I get a light filter makes it less harsh but jeez
yetiftw, the nicotine gives you the feeling, not the smoke itself
MacNCheezus, Technically correct.
thedeadwalking4242, What do you think the nicotine rides on to get to your lungs?
SpruceBringsteen, Chariots pulled by air sprites
Noodle07, It rides on bad ideas
douglasg14b, 
You mean the vapor?
You… You do know that modern cigarettes have filters right…?
MacNCheezus, Based. Just get some papers and roll that shit yourself, like a joint. Put a roach in there to keep that tobacco out of your mouth, good to go.
starman2112, 
The filter is there to catch big stuff that’ll make you gag. The microscopic ash particles are what you want to inhale, not the 2mm wide chunks
pivot_root, Oh, fun! It was blue asbestos, too. They couldn’t have made it any more carcinogenic if they tried.

MacNCheezus, Why settle for regular cancer if you can have TURBO cancer?
ignotum, I want my tumors to get tumors!
Kyatto, (edited ) 
the secret was here the whole time, use cancer to cure the cancer! Finally, I can be proud of my astrology sign!
psmgx, Turbo is clearly better, no?
ilinamorato, “Ok, so…I guess now we need to dip them in arsenic to prevent bacterial infection. And we could also irradiate them to make sure the viruses are all dead!”
“Yeah, man. We’ll have the healthiest cigarettes on the market!”
marcos, And we could also irradiate them
It will be expensive, but make sure you find a neutron source. Don’t settle for the stuff that basically everybody uses for irradiating things.
JTheDoc, We don’t want no pansy electron beam irradiators! Full ompf ionozation please.
Hagdos, Irradiating won’t harm the smoker though. You need to put a radiation source in the cigarette to do harm.
marcos, That’s what neutron radiation does…
JTheDoc, Thankfully for Hagdos, he’s not working around neutron irradiators or that’d be a gruesome lesson.
edgemaster72, 
Throw some lead based paint on the box and baby, you got a stew goin’
GraniteM,
MacNCheezus, I’m sure it’s hilarious but unfortunately the link doesn’t load for me.
GraniteM,
MacNCheezus, I appreciate your service.

MacNCheezus, I sure hope I’m not going to hell for laughing at this.
Mac, You’re already here
