Is that not a lot of sugar for how few ingredients to use it with?

I imagine there are food items which aren't rationed, because there's no fruit or vegetables here. If you grew your own fruit and had sugar you could preserve it as jam. The sugar helps prevent spoilage. Or if you grew rhubarb you could make a pie, which would be pretty darn sour without sugar.

It's the cigarettes that kill me!

You are assuming they have land to grow those fruits and vegetables on.

Apparently it's not just you, cigarettes are killing several people.

They’ve killed at least 2 people, maybe three people. It’s really hard to say

Not sure. It may be that it looks like a lot simply because we're used to modern foods having sugar pre-added?
