Now this looks good. Not that we love nasty things like cigarettes, but these are the female driven stories that I can stand behind. One where a woman can come in and implement her own changes to improve product in a male dominated field. Much better than the woke agenda crap we usually get.
ReplyDeleteIt does look charmingly exotic.
DeleteI don't think I have ever watched anything from Indonesia. Not interested in anything with cigarettes (cigars maybe), I actually think they should be banned...funny thing I saw people in the supermarkets bought lots of organic wholefood together with a whole dozen of cigarettes...what's the bloody point of eating healthy while smoking??
ReplyDeleteAre not they banning them soon in Germany, I think I read something about it, and also that now they can be bought only in specialised stores not in supermarkets. Maybe it was Scandinavia, cannot remember. I would make cigarettes about a hundred times more expensive and tax the producers with a massive tax which I would then use for charities.
DeleteI also do not get people who drink a coffee and then after it a lemonade or an orange juice, what is the point, caffeine kills vitamin C.
