The episode’s title, “Egyptian Cigarettes,” refers to how the pictures of diseased lungs that many countries — but not Israel or the United States — depict on cigarette packaging display the consequences of potentially destructive choices. “To have a picture of those organs — these effects are really real,” Youssef explains. “When are we going to look at that photo? I view the Ramy character as a symbol of how complicit we are in the large scale of the world, even as we’re navigating our own small piece of it.”

And practically, “Egyptian Cigarettes” depicts the day-to-day obstacles — interrogations, detainments, checkpoints, the separation wall, a constant military presence — that the citizens of the Palestinian territories face every day, a stark reminder of the normalized harm of nation-states.

“You don’t have to really say anything else,” Jacir adds. “In terms of the shooting, the wall, the checkpoints; the fact that in reality, those boys are not allowed to get out of Jenin; everything about our reality. We didn’t have to say to anybody, ‘What is a military occupation? What is life like here?’ It just is.” - How 'Ramy' Centered Life in the Palestinian Territories

Ramy, S03E02: 'Egyptian Cigarettes' (2022). Dir. veteran Palestinian director, Annemarie Jacir. Written by Maytha Alhassen and Ramy Youssef.

And while I'm not yet ready to talk about it, it's nice feeling like I'm not alone. Anymore.

By the grace of Allah, I found my teacher. She taught me that Islam was like an orange. There's an outer part and an inner part. If someone only got the rules and rituals, they might think Islam is tough and bitter like the outside of an orange. But there's an inside, a juicy flesh, the divine intimacy, the spiritual experience. The rind without the flesh is bitter and useless. The flesh without the rind would quickly rot. The outer Sharia protects the inner spirituality. And the inner spirituality gives the outer Sharia its' purpose and meaning. My teacher helped me understand that I needed both.  Ramy (2019– )

I feel like I have this hole I’ve been trying to fill. I tried to fill it with sex, it only made things worse. I want you to be my teacher, I wanna kill my ego.
