Would you ban tobacco and vapes? 🚬

[DarkRange55]

If you had total control over a country, would you ban cigarettes and all forms of tobacco?
California has been moving increasingly in that direction.

no i love vaping. also i support legalisation of all drugs. well i support no laws at all but like under the current system legalisation and regulation would be nice

I would ban use of them in public completely. You have no right to make others breathe in that ****. If you invade someone's airspace, you usually get shot.

Do it at home as much as you want.

im more concerned with the weird inconsistency of the laws. ideally they ban nothing, but if they're going to ban shit - don't come down harder on vapes than smoking, cuz that makes it look like the cig industry is running the show.

No. All that's doing is taking away your rights.

If I have no right to make other people breathe in that shit, then all vehicles should be banned from public, as others have no right to make me breathe in that shit coming from their exhaust pipe as they pass me while I'm walking down the street.

tbf i do think vehicles shouldnt exist (other than like elctric ones but theyre still a waste of resources snd space, busses and trains wre better) but i think smoking in public is fine

I agree with the smoking in public... I think the second hand smoke thing has been blown out of proportion. When you're outside smoking, non-smokers only smell the cigarette, not actively inhaling smoke since smoke rises. Whereas indoors, if you live with a smoker and you sit in the living room or wherever, the smoke has nowhere to go, therefore it's just lingering in the room. That, I believe, is what caused the second hand smoke issues.

I would legalise PCP.

Personally, I hate smoking.

I still believe in the freedom of choice. On suicide, on trans rights and also for cigarettes.
I am not in favor of legalizing all drugs though. Germany legalized smkoing weed under certain circumstances and I think this was a bad decision.
I think this makes weed socially more acceptable and gives people the feeling that weed was safe to use.

The difference to me is: tobacco and cigarettes are aleady socially widespread I think education campaigs work better in this instance. I would probably be in favor of increasing the tax on tobacco though. It is taking away a right of citizens if we prohibit it. Whereas I see positives in the fact that LSD, mushrooms, meth isn't widespread and socially accepted in our societies.

I think this is an interesting question. And if it wasn't late at night where I live my answer would have been longer.

There are some public intellectualls that smoke cigarettes to present them as contrarians/ to make the statement. It is similar stupid to campaigns of public intellectuals that voting doesn't matter and that they won't vote for anyone in the next election...
