They tried to reduce the health effects of smoking asbest as they could.
😯s
Edit: I’m really not sure if this joke will land haha
We knew in 1918 that asbestos workers died at a high frequency, and in 1924 Asbestosis was described.
Depending on the state of science at that point, that may actually have been a good idea.
The asbestos balances the humors.
Are ideas subjective?
Source? Yeah, I could use a web search, but I’d expect a source for a claim that would be even mildly interesting.
Here’s one as well as a fact check
Thank you. These kinds of things keep on being horrifying.
Again, I did search this up myself as well, but in my opinion the op should provide a source as well as the catchy (and horrifying) pic.
but… there’s a picture with a zoomed in! isn’t that enough?!
They used blue asbestos, which is most likely to cause mesothelioma. So technically, at least, it did indeed accomplish the goal.
Would smokers be entitled to compensation?
Only after confirmed death
Might still make it slightly less unhealthy overall
Hell no. Why would you say this?!
I’m saying cigarettes are so terrible that freebasing asbestos is somehow healthier
But it isn’t healthier!
That’s like cleaning an infected wound with sewer water.
