the state proscribes many asocial behaviors, and rightly so. and never do we seriously infer that the act of proscribing makes the proscribed behavior more prevalent (should we loosen the ban on human trafficing? on secruties fraud? murder?). surely there will be unintended (but not unforeseable) effects of banning cigarettes (some kids may think it's "cool",' some smugglers undoubtedly will be enriched), but that's a cost well worth saving many people from becoming addicted to a utility free habituation, which is compelled by the forces of capital, and which has devestating long term health/social consequences.
yes, the state often allows and provides methadone. it can do this while maintaining a ban on stronger, more destructive opioids. and so, the state can provide govt subsidized nicotine gum, while still maintaining a restriction on cigarettes.
How many times do laws against murder have to fail before people get it? In every country in the world murder is banned and paying for murder is illegal, so many people commit illegal murder or hire unregulated hit men.
Lmao, that’s almost sillier. A vape is illegal unless you pay 20 bucks (side note given kangaroo dollars being worth less isn’t that the same as paying like 12?). Pay 12 bucks for an internet doctor to give you vape permission :waluigi-stalin: or else it’s illegal.

if the bourgeois state becomes restrictive enough it will become proletarian of its own volition. like the inverse of the withering away thing.

Lmao vapes are banned? How is a country of former convicts so domesticated that worked?
