This should really be obvious, Nazis won’t suffer the indignity of existing on a planet with other people. It happened last time, it’s happening now, it’ll happen when they fully take over America too.

I neither smoke (tobacco) or work for a tobacco company, and legalizing drugs (objectively a good thing) doesn’t imply selling to kids. Just say you have an irrational hated of someone else doing something that doesn’t affect you.

Cigarettes have a single purpose, they aren’t an additive in a product they have no business being in.

You can eat rat poison all you like, it’s not illegal to sell. It’s simply illegal to offer it as an ingredient in your cookies.

Sugar, for one. You aren’t talking about a vice tax, you are talking about outlawing it entirely.

I don’t smoke, jackass, I’m just not gaslighting myself into thinking it’s noticable when it very clearly isn’t.

Is authoritarianism just in the blood of brit-bongers or what?

By that same logic most food should be illegal

No it doesn’t, at all. Unless you are advocating making it illegal to sell any food that isn’t specifically designed by nutritionists to maximize health at the expense of everything else.

Your phone causes health complications and should be banned. Almost all the food you eat causes health complications and should be banned. Exercising causes health complications and should be banned.

Or maybe we don’t do authoritarian bullshit and stop trying to regulate what people do to themselves.

If you banned everything that costs the public money then your lives would be more miserable than any monk’s in history.

All food contains dangerous substances, a lot also contains addictive substances. If you are going to be an obsessive puritan then almost nothing is safe to eat.

Smoke disperses. If you aren’t up someone’s ass while they smoke outside you’ll never even smell it, let alone get health complications from it.

That’s called a ban on smoking for people under 18. You already do that.

From what I’ve heard, it absolutely isn’t. The uk is just as authoritarian and backwards, the only thing it has doing for it is a lack of weapons (apparently to an absurd extent).

How? Drunk driving presents a clear and present danger, someone smoking on the roof or in their yard or in dinner alley isn’t a threat to anyone.

You favorite food negatively impacts me, it stinks and it needs to be banned. See how dumb that sounds?

You choose to smoke. If someone wants to buy sawdust to put into their bread separately that’s fine. regulations are to stop a market from poisoning the base product, if the product is poison then it’s on the consumer.

Then you don’t know how people work

So should we ban all food that isn’t a specially designed slurry that meets all necessary nutritional values?
