Man Enters Airport Smoking Room Without a Cigarette; Cigarette Companies to File Case

In a bizarre incident, a man entered an airport smoking room without buying a cigarette, prompting companies to consider legal action.

Reportedly, he decided to enjoy secondhand smoke instead, citing massive price hikes. Inspired by him, more smokers followed suit, leading cigarette companies to file a case over “huge revenue losses.”

Speaking to The Fauxy, a cigarette company CEO said, “High GST will shut us down. Our only hope now is Bollywood and OTT shows that promote smoking — like we pay them.”

Meanwhile, cigarette CEOs are increasing revenue by smoking more out of stress due to falling revenues.
