Because people enjoy taking drugs and they always will. Being a dictator and telling people they can’t do what they want with their own body is hilariously out of touch

It’s the drugs going into air that other people have to breathe, or behavior while under the influence that endangers other people that’s the problem.

And when the government can effectively prevent massive amounts of benzene from going into the air, they are more than welcome to work on the trace amounts of nicotine.

It’s not a zero sum. You can be against both.
