Opinion of New Zealand's laws on smoking

[PSOL]

Another horrifyingly authoritarian law from a horrifyingly authoritarian country.

Do you think laws banning cocaine are authoritarian? I know cocaine is much more dangerous than cigarettes, I'm just trying to figure out where you draw the line.

No, because as you point out, cigarettes are not cocaine.

So where’s the line? How bad does a drug have to be that it’s ban is common sense instead of authoritarian? Weed? Shrooms?

The suppression of its use is more harmful than if it was legal

Turns out these laws are being repealed under the new government.

Anyone with any brains should have looked at this ban and immediately concluded that the prior government would have been beaten in the polls. Inhumane nonsense all around.
