[If a sovereign power forbids me from smoking tobacco cigarettes, then my responsibilities and my freedom decrease.
My ‘I, seat of choice3V’ is overthrown. My ‘mirror of the world3H’ narrows.
My entire heart grows smaller.
The forced cessation of smoking constitutes a pathetic parody of responsibility and freedom.
It increases words and bondage.]

[Sovereign intervention in the markets produces forced conversions to a religioninfrasov.
The citizen’s behavior becomes more formalized and less dependent on freedom. Personal responsibility diminishes. The whole person becomes of a slave to the mirror of the world3H.]

My heart sees the romantic view of brotherly smoking diminished.
My heart finds rational arguments against smoking tobacco products.
My heart sees smokers demonized.
Rational arguments may not be sufficient for attaining the organizational objectives of the anti-smoking lobby, even though the health argument can easily be understood. Demonization does the trick.]
[If cigarettes2H increase in price, decrease in availability and otherwise come under the mandates of a sovereign, then my choices2V are correspondingly limited.
Even if I maintain the same desire1H for cigarettes2H, the sovereign takes my power to choose3V from me by mandating a healthy lifestyle.]
[Consider the single actuality of both ‘my choice2V’ and ‘something2H’.
My choice2V reflects value1V. Something2H reveals my desire1H.
If I were to give up cigarettes on my own, my intersection would look like the following.]
