      As much as I think tobacco and nicotine are really stupid drugs (very addictive with the most boring mind altering effects one ever did see).

      I support you doing that because at least people could “shop local” with you and not support mega corps or other large cartels.

      The prohibition though, in my opinion, is sound.

      There’s a reason why smoking is being banned in more and more locations: it stinks, and smoked as tobacco, definitely causes cancer - which the community also has to bear the cost of in medical expenses and familial/fraternal trauma.

      Understandably, alcohol and other drugs also have bad side effects, and there’s an argument to be made about whether is appropriate to control that also - but heck, at least the mind altering effects are actually fun, and it’s not chemically addictive.

      Basically. Smoking sucks, and I wish people didn’t do it, sorry bud.
