Some used to rail against the poor who smoked. Moaned about them spending money on beer and cigarettes when they could have used that money for... name anything that sounds redeeming here.

Now, they all seem to have cigarettes, beer, cell phones, and the Internet, and they are still poor and surviving. Are they worse off now?
