I love how the most controversial thing I ever did on this site was simply saying that people should be allowed to have a cig

It’s kind of depressing how so many people on here are just completely decoupled from real life.

But I suppose that’s what happens when you’re born and raised in Amerikkka

14 year old children should not actually be allowed to have a cig, you are the one decoupled from real life

And then that 14 year old gets a criminal record for having a smoke.

I’m not fucking saying that I’m ok with children smoking.

Then what are you outraged about, there are no adults born after 2008

I need you to know that the controversiality is not from “simply” saying that people should be allowed a cig, but from making a false equivalency between cigarettes, a product that contains 20 different carcinogenic substances and, if you are a smoker, lowers your life expectancy on average by 6.5 years, and coffee, a product that hasn’t been shown to have any effect on life expectancy. This is not people being inconsistent because they think drugs are bad and therefore want to ban the bad drug, but oh, have never considered banning their sweet, sweet personal drug. It’s people wanting to ban the thing that overall shortens your life, for the same reason that, if it were legal, they would ban consumption of asbestos. Cigarettes being a drug is only incidental to this.
