[What does my heart2 see in I, seat of choice3V?
My heart2 registers that my choice2V has been limited. My heart2 must realize only one something2H that I may choose1V. There is desire underlying my freedom.
I, seat of choice3V, has been dethroned.
I must submit to what the religioninfrasov has chosen for me.]
[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.]

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.]

[The imposition by a religioninfrasov initiates a transition from interscope to intersection. Here, the transition marks the start of a forced conversion.]
[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.]
