Then watch to become un-uncool'ed.

Whilst we're on the subject... What is the upside of cigarettes being legal? Cant think of any. get em gone, they smell like shit

I'd vote for a ban on cigarettes. If people are that desperate to die they don't need to keep smoking trying to get lung cancer, just tell me you want to die and I'll happily solve your problem...

And if anyone happens to be a smoker here, sorry but you're no longer my friend

@Butters don't worry buddy, smoking d**ks is fine in my book.

 

[Deezy]

Wouldn't want to be your friend in the first place.

The only thing I'd say which is an issue: See the video I posted about prohibition. By outlawing it, you can no longer regulate it. Therefore legal age, warning labels on packaging, having it sold in select locations, all gone. It then would create a black market (which probably already exists, but expands it) for cigarettes where we can't regulate it and even worse terrible shit can be put in it without regulation around it. At least with it legal we get tax revenue from it to put into programs like addiction services, and healthcare for when people get sick from it.

The best answer, regardless, comes down to education and continued regulation to naturally have it fade out. We made a fair bit of progress on that until e-cigarettes and vaping became a thing.

E-cigs and vapes are gonna get regulated to high hell though since they are nicotine products. In Minnesota alone, packs of cigarettes are above $10 per pack.

The chat perceived the Canadian guest as lefty. I called it.

I'm surprised ecigs and vapers aren't regulated. Its iron going into your lung(s).

Sigh.

 

[Deezy]

Cigarette packs have been over $10 since the 00s in Canada.

Smokers pay more taxes than anyone.

You're welcome.

We should just burn everyone we don't agree with - until only people who agree with everyone are left.

Just solved world peace
