In Revenge of the mouth breathers, June Thunderstorm is setting a sad and miserable tone for the reader, because she is trying to show people what being in hard working class is really like. Its just a miserable life of people who work for minimum wage and have a very tough time making a living and all it does is drive them to smoke cigarettes for the rest of their lives until they die an untimely death. Even though the government says "warning this can cause cancer and/or death" it doesn't stop people from doing it because the government is making life so hard for people that its giving them no choice. In the conclusion I think the point June is trying to get across is that hard working people who have stressful lives should be able to smoke in peace without getting any crap from the professionals. These people already live stressful lives trying to live off minimum wage; the least you can do is let them enjoy a cigarette in peace!
