I’d like to see this in more places.
UK is talking about raising the smoke age each year. I think that’s pretty cool.
Absolutely! I see every day the awfully sick people in our hospital, one side lung left but still smoking 2 packs a day, practically living outside. In certain circumstances it should considered as involuntarily suicide. Plus: they annoy other people as fuck. Disgusting habit.
Do you see the same thing with morbidly obese people as well? Considering smokers are no longer in the top deaths now?

I’m an off-and-on again quitter. Smoking is the worst habit; it’s not discriminating on people to:
not want the world littered with cig butts.
not wanting to smell disgusting cig smoke as people walk by or worse, loiter, blowing their garbage into houses and apartments.
not wanting to pay for the enormous burden this habit puts on the healthcare system for nothing but perpetually addicted suckers who got hooked before they got sense.
it’s a burden on society writ large, from the asshole flicking out a cig that starts a wildfire (the world is already burning) to the dickheads who vape on the train. I wish it would all go away.

People smoking doesn’t equal litter
it does - it’s air pollution of the worst kind. their fucking buts end up in the marine life. want more tolerance? get fucked or stop smoking you douchecanoe.

sure bud, whatever you tell yourself.
You know they also banned gum right?
This is the way.
Yes because prohibition works…
You seem to be using the US as an example. Countless other countries have banned various drugs quite successfully. Singapore being just one of them.

Ok, in my defense, I was not aware of the drug laws in Singapore. That was a really really really bad example. Like holy shit they have the death penalty for 500 grams of weed WTF. And you’re presumed guilty just for being around a location where drugs have been used. Yeah I agree that’s madness.

Not really a direct parallel considering you can’t exactly grow your own tobacco. Tobacco also isn’t sold for any other purpose, unlike barley.
Lol what? You %100 can grow your own tobacco. And there is a ton of research being done using nicotine for Alzheimer’s and dementia.
They have to keep alternatives reasonable available, like vaping. But no, they make it so expensive that many people went back to smoking tobacco instead of going the other way and downdose on nicotine & understand that they simply don’t need either.
Vaping is banned in Singapore. You still see some people illegally possessing and vaping though.
recall drama when they banned smoking in elevators. should be banned in public spaces. smoked when younger. now it just stinks. even outdoors. read big tobacco is diversifying into foods that are addictive.
What in cigarettes was causing heart attacks? Nicotine?
Yeah, nicotine is a vasoconstrictor. Smaller blood vessels = higher blood pressure and higher risk of heart attacks and stroke.
I’ve been using the nicotine pouches and there’s only addiction warning labels on them. But the whole time I’m thinking, I’m pretty certain nicotine isn’t good for the heart…
