minus-squareRam_The_Manparts [he/him]hexbear2·2 years agoThis not bait, people have been smoking stuff since the beginning of time. Will alcohol be banned under communism too? Because iTS bAd? link
minus-squareRam_The_Manparts [he/him]hexbear8·2 years agoIn my country alcohol is already heavily regulated, and it is illegal to advertise it. There are no "corner stores" where you can buy anything heavier than 5% beer. That's different than a full ban though. link
minus-squareSaniFlush [any, any]hexbear3·2 years agoI'm okay with a few session beers with dinner. link
minus-squareRam_The_Manparts [he/him]hexbear3·2 years agoBut would not people have a different relationship to alcohol under communism than under capitalism? link
minus-squarecrime [she/her, any]hexbear11·2 years agoNumber and potency of carcinogens, for starters link
minus-squareGorbinOutOverHere [comrade/them]hexbear3·2 years agoyou could make that same argument for coffee vs marijuana though smoking shit makes carcinogens thanks incomplete combustion link
minus-squarecrime [she/her, any]hexbear15·2 years agoYou can eat or vaporize marijuana, you cannot enjoyably eat or vaporize cigarettes, which also have a bunch of extra shit in them, and which have a significantly higher cancer risk vs marijuana link
minus-squareRam_The_Manparts [he/him]hexbear5·edit-22 years ago being addicted to something isn’t a moral failing I never said that it was. What I'm saying is that if people should be allowed to enjoy caffeine, they should also be allowed to enjoy nicotine. We're not talking heroin here. link
minus-squareRam_The_Manparts [he/him]hexbear3·2 years ago i agree with you that people should be allowed to do what they want, and i already said earlier i’m not sure this is The Move ™. Well then I have no idea why we're having an argument here. link
minus-squareRam_The_Manparts [he/him]hexbear2·2 years agoYeah, it's about as ridiculous as banning nicotine. link
minus-squareRam_The_Manparts [he/him]hexbear2·2 years agoThat's my point tho. People here are celebrating libs banning cigs. Fuck that, I'm rolling one lol link
minus-squareNephBeans [none/use name]hexbear14·2 years agoAbsolute stupid take. The health issues and deaths caused by smoking are beyond doubt. Caffeine might be addictive but its not harmful link
minus-squareRam_The_Manparts [he/him]hexbear3·2 years agoPeople smoking cigs is like the last thing we need to worry about. link
minus-squareNephBeans [none/use name]hexbear13·2 years agoIt really isn't. Its a real and actual health issue that kills and disables thousands of people in New Zealand every year. link
minus-squareRam_The_Manparts [he/him]hexbear1·2 years agoIf someone in NZ who were born before 2008 are caught buying cigs, what will happen to them? link
minus-squareRam_The_Manparts [he/him]hexbear2·2 years ago I’m not taking your cigs from you. The liberal New Zealand dictatorship is though, and people here are celebrating it. link
minus-squareRam_The_Manparts [he/him]hexbear1·2 years agoSo ten years from now those 14yo will be 24. Why should they not be allowed to smoke tobacco then? But they can do caffeine and sugar? link
minus-squareRam_The_Manparts [he/him]hexbear1·2 years ago but you aren’t fucking entitled to making other people breath carcinogenic smoke. You should tell that to oil companies, car manufacturers, coal plants, and what not. Rather than some powerless prole having a cig after finishing their shift in the hell-factory. link
minus-squareRam_The_Manparts [he/him]hexbear4·2 years agoAs someone with ADD, cigs do that for me link
They're not?
They're both addictive.
