Tbf smoking in general looks cool not just ciggies

Cigars, hookah, blunts, etc

Only uncool smoking is GBs

vaping is ten times better for you. like objectively.

Exactly lmao

So why cigs? It's literally just a cultural thing that's being pushed under the guise of health concerns

Shisha looks a lil sussy baka imo ngl

We tried alcohol in America. It created a criminal underground, and there was a lot of political power marshaled against it. That's the reason it didn't stick.

Swag

i think it should be regulated to the point where the cigarette companies cannot thrive so much. i think if someone is say, growing their own time tobacco and using it, that should be okay.

I know, usually when you criminalize a substance it ends up in the hands of well.. criminals

Arguments to ban substances in general are flimsy at best. Substances should not be banned. Promoting and encouraging use is a different story.

Yessir

it'd be interesting to see the exact moment/events that made society stop viewing cigs like they do drinking

anecdotally in the states i remember a whole bunch of commercials against smoking showing literal cancerous lungs and s*** but I wonder why they went for that instead of alcohol? maybe because america failed with alcohol before

S*** like heroin and meth shouldn’t be legal

D**** won the War On D****. Prohibition has proven to be a failure. The people who can buy tobacco are going to make a fortune.

Eh legality doesn't stop use. Just criminalizes the problem instead of looking to solve it.

Heroin has been replaced by an ever more dangerous d*** now since its easier and cheaper for criminals to use fentanyl. Overdose death's are at an all time high in the US. Criminalizing the opiod crisis only has made it worse.

Millions of people get prescribed stimulants perfectly legally and abuse them the same.

D**** will never go away, legal or illegal.

lobbyists

wow, cool cancer!

I don’t want my kids to live in a world where they can ask a bum to go to the store in buy heroin for them

Decriminalize it sure but nah that s*** is a harmful d***

Everything is fake

smoking is terrible but its the people who defend it that are the worst. arguing with a smoker is the most pointless thing you can do

Prohibition stuck around for nearly a decade, with alcohol as a booming underground industry, until the mafia element was like front page news with personalities that persist to this day. That's what it took to repeal. Is tobacco ever going to be that? Less and less people smoke it than ever.

It’s better to scare kids into not smoking tobacco in school. That s*** worked on me

Niggas boutta get murdered over black and milds

Ban it all or tax it like crazy.
