Smoking seems like it could be linked to absorption via the lungs either through damage or willingness to spend time in outdoor environments most would avoid.
Of course there could be many other reasons for that correlation, so it would certainly be nice to at least know how the plastic was absorbed.

It's an interesting idea, but I doubt that many are going through with reporting a fake digital scam loss to the FBI without a lot of them getting caught in basic blunders, especially when the FBI goes to trace and recover the funds..
Our perception of losses based on lying in circumstances where there are no consequences may be higher.

Maybe they will build out their own military industry causing the US to no longer have a much larger technological capability than it actually pays for from its own GDP and face more competition in weapon sales.
