[Through market interventions, brute force and public humiliation, the sovereign takes responsibility for my smoking habit. The sovereign thwarts my freedom.]

[What does my heart see in 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.]

[Given the market interferences by the religioninfrasov, the smoker adjusts to the unromantic image of me being forced to pay attention to a healthy lifestyle and betraying my old buddies.
Indeed, the demonization of the smoker initiates repetitive sequences of negative thoughts, initiating the very thought-pattern that lighting up so effectively breaks.
Thus, ‘giving up smoking’ carries the emotional baggage of a forced religious conversion.
Progressive facets of the mirror of the world burn with merciless and demonic sovereign power.]

[… or, I should say, malfunctions, since it contains several normal contexts that are mutually exclusive.
If a person smokes, in order to quit, that person needs to give up the romantic image of me engaging in a relaxation ritual along with friends and fellow travelers (from phase one).
One facet of the normal context of the mirror of the world has to be erased.]

[The demonization of smokers and tobacco companies, plus detailed explanations of the long-term health risks enters into the interscope of the smoker as part of the mirror of the world3a.
As long as sensible construction prevails this interscope functioned …]
