Seeing all those HBF "Health Points" ads just makes me think of the old Steven King short story "Quitters Inc". In it, the Mafia, under the instructions of the now deceased old Don turn their skills towards a quit smoking campaign, after the old man found out he had lung cancer.

They are very good at it, and at managing the potential side effects of quitting. But you will never get rid of them. And they will always be watching.

When I hear on the news of things happening *for real* today that were leading up to the scifi disaster I read in the early 80s, it's chilling. #LifeImitatingArt
