Of Tobacco Being Legal

[Joe Schmo]

 

[Doctor]

It should remain legal, but I don't mind strict advertising about it

 

[Indger]

I'd like drugs, alcohol, tobacco etc all to be illegal

 

[Bright Dorne]

I vote that Blackie should be illegal.

Or strictly regulated and consumption heavily monitored at least.

 

[RagnarBuliwyf]

Non smoker and drinker here.

They should not be made illegal. If people want to use them, let them. Anyone advocating personal liberties being taken is laughable 

 

[Who Me]

What people do int he privacy of their own homes is one thing. What they do out in public where they can affect other people is quite another.

 

[Mauris]

I think the main issue is people still taking on tobacco even when they know its effects, and the fact that there are negative impacts on others (second hand smoke, healthcare etc.) 

Imo phase outs probably work the best as heavier taxes might end up increasing income inequality in some way and tobacco might end up being seen as a luxury and even a status symbol.

 

[Sam Adams]

What people do int he privacy of their own homes is one thing. What they do out in public where they can affect other people is quite another.

and that can apply to just about every human activity that exists

 

[Otto]

it should be legal, but strictly regulated in how it's sold/advertised (like no more marketing to children).

 

[Etat]

Maybe we should make being fat or sedentary illegal…they too are unhealthy!
