the FDA is considering a ban on menthol cigarette sales - Lemmy.world

If you only ban the menthols, it’s racist. If you ban all cigarettes, it’s health-forward and progressive. Ban all cigs.

Fuck you.

I spent half my life legally smoking tobacco and illegally smoking weed.

I moved a quarter of a voluntary away for the mental health of legally smoking tobacco and legally smoking weed.

I WILL NOT be dragged back into a life where one of my vices give me crippling fear of imprisonment.

Get off your fucking high horse. Mind your own fucking business. Stop asserting your will over others. Live your own fucking life. Let me live my fucking life.

Seriously.

Stop.

Just stop.

Prohibition is horse shit.

Stop supporting prohibition.

I don’t care what you put in your body.

Legalize everything.

But attach harsh prison sentences for exposing others.

Smoke in your home or your closed vehicle away from children.

Because I’m REAL FUCKING TIRED of walking through a cloud of smoke to enter a building.

Come to Colorado! If it’s worth legalization, we are all about it.

(One of my post-legalization projects…)

Leave it to Lemmyists to downvote a comment saying that you shouldn’t be allowed to force other people to breathe poisonous smoke.
I don’t think this person means criminalize use of cigarettes to be fair.
They’ll criminalize tobacco production and smuggling and there would 100*% be a black market.
Think of it more like a safety standard - prevent the sales of variations doing the most harm to public health
Make me. Preferably after a 2 mile hike 😘
I’m glad I live in a country with universal healthcare. Your point is made completely erroneous by the fact that everyone’s taxes are paying for your cancer treatment. This “fuck you i’ll do what i want” mentality is literally antisocial conservative garbage.
