The hypocrisy surrounded it's illegality is nothing short of comical.
If adults want to drink, gamble, smoke themselves to death with tobacco that's just fine, it's culturally acceptable. But the evil weed is the Devils scourge. Kids need id to drink. They don't need it to buy weed. Legalize weed or then prohibit tobacco. gambling and cigarette smoking and stop with the Carrie Nation bs.
I’ve never used tobacco in any form, but I’ve had friends and family members who did or do. It’s not a healthful activity, BUT nicotine doesn’t cause psychosis in its users. Would you fly in a plane in which you knew that the pilot consumed nicotine 20 minutes before takeoff? You probably already have, and you wouldn’t be worried that he was impaired, because actually he’s probably more alert than someone who didn’t consume nicotine. Would you fly in a plane in which you knew that the pilot took a half-dozen bong hits 20 minutes before takeoff? I sure as hell wouldn’t. The two aren’t comparable.
