  "textContent": "Human alcohol production and consumption is literally older than cuneiform by at least 10,000 years. It is much more fundamental to our society than cigarettes, which only really took off less than 100 years ago, ever were. People forget that cigarettes are really, really new. There are people alive today who were born before actual inhalation of the smoke was a thing.\n\nYour great great great grandparents did not smoke cigarettes. They did drink alcohol.\n\nAs the US learned, you just can’t ban alcohol, for better or worse.",
