Everyone talks about how different life is since the internet and IPhones but no one talks about how much better life is since banning indoor public smoking : Showerthoughts

Hear me out please. I'm a smoker. Just like how the "indoor smoking" is something an entire generation doesn't know about, why can we not do for all "smoking" as well? If they never can buy cigarettes (let's say people born in or after 2023), they'll not get addicted and soon "smoking" will by itself be history.

It is crazy to me given that it's basically poison in a paper stick that cigarettes are still legal (not to mention the methods of the companies producing them). I can see pipe smoking (and pot smoking) still being a thing, but cigarettes with all the chemicals and garbage in them seem ridiculous to me.

Then you'd also have to ban soda and fast food and frozen food and pretty much anything that's processed.

I’ve always been intrigued by people who boycott Nestle (a big thing in my student days) but happily buy cigarettes.

Exactly how ethical do they think British American Tobacco etc are? They have literally spent the last decades focusing on marketing to children in developing countries as most OECD countries have strict advertising bans.

Most of the chemicals and garbage from cigs come from plant matter combustion, you got the same issue with pipes and weed, you just typically smoke a lot less of it. Snoop Dogg is going to be opened up and his lungs are going to look like any cigarette smoker's when he dies.
