So, you do not drive or ride in a vehicle, boat or ATV that releases copious amounts of carbon monoxide?

The world is just fine with smokers. I hate the smell of smoke, but if I go to a bar or casino I fully expect there to be smokers. I can always leave if a casino, bar or restaurant owner decides to let their patrons smoke. Free market capitalism.

they've all known this is coming
"flavored" tobacco (ie: menthol) is already illegal in canada, and will be next year in the EU. juul has already voluntarily pulled (or is in the process of pulling) their flavored vape products from retail stores and will only sell those online

its a public health issue with widespread support. you can smoke if you want to, but the tobacco companies will no longer be able to make their cigarettes taste like candy

The government actually has been highly successful in decreasing the proportion of smokers. Smoking is dying because of full on restrictions by that government that you hate.

How is teen cig use an “epidemic” compared to years past?



e-cigs like Juul are immensely popular right now. Many times because it is so easy to have cannibis oil mixed in

I always found menthols to be more pleasant second hand than regular cigs.

A nice rip of a menthol on a cold night after ingesting a lot of MDMA is an insanely great feeling.

Or so I've heard from friends who do that sort of thing.


Funny. I've heard this same rumor.

Exactly. This is kind of like banning vodka because teenagers get drunk on it and thinking....that’ll stop them from getting drunk!

I think this is all a sham. I think tobacco industry is taking a hit on teens using ecigs/vapes instead of smoking so they've lobbied against it.
