Governments should just ban tobacco already
That's prompt for an in depth discussion about freedom vs. security, freedom vs. public health, and nanny laws.
People shouldn't have the freedom to pollute the air I breathe with their nasty tobacco smoke. There's not even any good use cases for tobacco. It causes addiction, cancer, and all sorts of health issues. I don't want to be breathing tobacco smoke because someone else decided they want to slowly kill themselves.
So you want to ban cigarettes but not chewing tobacco? Or ban all smoking products, including cigarettes, marijuana, vapes, etc?
Well considering my original post said tobacco, not just cigarettes, yes ban chewing tobacco as well. I guess I should expand it to say ban nicotine products. Marijuana is a little different, we'd need to find a way to encourage alternate ways of ingesting, and improve how society handles addiction.
Yep
they tried that with alcohol, didnt go well
They should try again
They should ban sugars and anything that's carcinogenic too
Ban alcahol too
Yes
Dont take away the last fun thing trashy people have to enjoy
Why would they lol the make too much money off cigarettes!
Completely agree
Vaping is worse and banning shit even works. Adults should be allowed to do whatever they want. All drugs should be unbanned and regulated so people stop dying by accident
Then how will peoppe gst throat cancer and die and pay taxes at the same time
Make it cigarettes, and we have a deal. I enjoy smoking my pipes.
No
Alright. Then no deal.
Ok
If your argument is at least partly about pollution, would you want to also ban smoking meats?
I don't know enough about that to say
*reads this as I smoke a cigarette*
Enjoy your cancer
I will thanks. We have a betting pool going on over whether imma die of cancer, anorexia, or suicide lol
RIP
I could see that comment coming from someone in NC; their economy had a lot of tobacco dependency.
Yeah and ban alcohol and all drugs too. That includes caffeine. And ban sugar. Let's ban everything! Govern me harder daddy. Moron.
I would be okay with banning alcohol actually. Sugar shouldn't be banned but it should be greatly reduced in our food, less available.
You do realize that your brain needs sugar to function, right? Oh what am I saying, obviously you don't since you don't use yours.
True
And vapes!!
Yes!
They basically have in the UK I'm a sly but admittedly quite clever way
Why?
Why do you think?
I don't think they should, thats why i asked why
You probably wouldn't get it, if you're anything like some of these other people
To much $$$ to be made, not gonna happen anytime soon
Nazi
Sure, I'm a tobacco nazi
People can just stop use of it
That's not enough
They did. In Church.
That's not enough
Reads this as I search for my vape
Those should be banned too
I would be banned alongside them in solidarity
Okay cool
