After a day thoroughly spent on discussing tobacco laws, I wanted to hear your thoughts, as I figure that many people here have seen more than myself at 20 years, and I thought a broad discussion might be good.
I'm seeing all kinds of anti tobacco talk on the internet, people thinking smokers are "idiots because they do something that harms them". I think almost all the people on the planet have or is doing something that's detrimental to life expectancy, and they should be free to do so. While I hear all kinds of tax increases, I've never seen any kind of an attempt to more thoroughly regulate what's allowed to go into a cigarette/cigar/pipe tobacco. Cigarettes are increasingly becoming less tobacco/more jet fuel with the time passing, and for the life of me I can not understand why no one is talking about trying to change that besides smokers. If the state is gonna have any say on what I smoke, please worry about quality and ingredients, and let me kill myself in a flavorful way rather than a bland experience, if I want to do so
Anyway, that's my two cents, and I'll be glad to hear your opinions. I think I'm not violating any rules (or hope), I've read the guidelines and I think this post is not political discussion or an inflammatory thread but I'm sorry if it is determined so.
