"Well I better jump on this here street car and 23 skidoo my way to the theater to check this out! On my way I'll pick up some asbestos coated cigarettes to smoke inside!"

I'm sure all the over 40 Hexbears can confirm this for me.

Same but more realistically "I went down to the Kinko's to get something faxed, but I missed a number on the rotary dial, so now I'll just have to check the mail order catalog".

I remember once watching a woman describe how she visited her dads job and she thought it was so magical because the asbestos in the air caught the light and the whole place sparkled so beautifully. Like being in a snowglobe. He died suffering horribly of lung disease and she also had problems because of the 2nd hand asbestos he would bring home on his clothes.

Nick Kroll, comedian and general media guy, is the son of Jules Kroll, a "corporate espionage" "entrepreneur" who as recently as 2012 (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/08/k2-corporate-spy-infiltrated-anti-asbestos-campaign-court-told) employed people to spy on anti aspestos activists and disrupt their work on behalf of the international ruling class. Nick Kroll has depicted his father in the very weird teen oriented sex cartoon Big Mouth where he is constantly referring to being jealous about the large size of his dads testicles.

Credit to the sadly cancelled Eat The Rich podcast who did an episode about daddy Kroll. One of the top 10 pod Eps ever produced. Very much reccomend if you can find it.

(They didn't talk about the testicles, I just know that because my friend made me watch the show before I knew the rest of it.)

Well that got weird fast

The asbestos made sure only the purest of nicotine makes it into your lungs

Fun fact: the tar/residue from cigarette smoke in the lungs makes the effects of asbestosis 90x worse. It actually helps pull the fibres into your lung lining
