Just as well. Cigarettes are bad for you. I’m for one’s freedom to do stupid stuff but on this issue we can all be squishes.

Legalize mushrooms and ecstasy in old folks homes. They don’t have much to do and the dose can be controlled.

Those doing life should have access to hard drugs.

You are on the anti-freedom side more a tan than the average Freeper. Why are you here?

That is the problem with Socialized medicine like Obamacare. On the one hand, cigarette smoking is bad for you and it is your right. On the other hand, I end up paying for your smoking by paying higher premiums to cover your lung cancer treatments.

If you look into it deeply if Google hasn’t buried the evidence it was the science on cigarette smoking that started the fake science crap. That’s all I’m going to say but you could see what it turned into and that’s because people didn’t mind that they attacked smokers but soon they’ll come for you for something you do.

I don’t smoke very much at all. People who are addicted to drugs will get them anyway. Those stores should offer ways and services to get people off of all addictive drugs.
All they are doing now is virtue signaling. If they were serious, they would stop selling alcohol, sugary drinks, and high fat foods.
Meanwhile, legal and illegal marijuana, ethanol, fentanyl, sales are booming. At least the younger people who cause car wrecks and who OD on opiates will have less lung cancer, and vascular diseases when they get older. Big Whoopee.

I quit smoking 18 years ago.
I was smoking the first cigarette of the day outside in the backyard
first thing in the morning in late May.

Started coughing. And coughing - I couldn’t stop coughing.

“Am I going to quit smoking, or am I going to quit breathing (much sooner than planned)?” I asked myself.

I’m still here, so you know the answer.
Tossed ALL the butts.
Went through six months or so of horrible nicotine withdrawal. Awful.
But I’m VERY glad I quit. I will never touch nicotine, again.

Vaping made it very easy for me to quit cigarettes after 40-50 years smoking. I started with high nicotine in vapes and slowly lowered that down to zero nicotine within about 1 year and quit.
