Tobacco cigarettes were called 'coffin nails' in the 1950s. I think they're still available?

Opportunity cost is when you spend a metric b*tt-load of money to curtail CO2 production, when less investment would result in mass conversion of atmospheric CO2 and water to liquid jet fuel using above-baseline renewable energy.
