On the internet, cigarette smokers seem to blame marijuana for excessive regulation of cigarettes while marijuana smokers and vapers blame cigarettes for excessive regulation of marijuana/vapes (whichever one of those they enjoy), and all three blame alcohol for excessive regulation of whichever one of the above three they enjoy. I wish they would stop blaming each other and join forces against those who hate them all.

I hope they keep blaming eachother. It makes raising taxes and restrictions on all of them easier.

Cigarettes should be criminalized immediately.

Literally have never seen this anywhere in the real world or online, so I just assume you're spending time in weird niches.

Also, don't mind the Authoritarians of Atlas who will inevitably respond! Most well-educated teenage and 20-something virgins who don't know how to have fun have never experimented with any of these substances.

Cigarettes should have the same legal status of marijuana, to be honest, whatever that legal status is.

I'm with you in spirit but tobacco really isn't worth experimenting with. Should be legal but unlike weed it's completely useless for the soul and quite disgusting.

It's very popular to smoke marijuana half-and-half with tobacco.

That actually sounds like FourLoco.

Never tried that myself but chewing tobacco when you rarely do it and haven't eaten that day is quite the feeling!

What are you, in high school? I'm sorry that my idea of fun doesn't involve sitting in a half-circle on the floor with a bunch of burnout losers giggling like a moron. If you need drugs to entertain yourself, guess what? Maybe you're just a boring person.

Yeah, for people who have lots of money to do other things and no mental health issues. For the rest of America, though...

I didn't say I wanted to make these things illegal. In fact, I'd encourage you to participate in them. It leaves less economic and social competition for the rest of us.

I have several mental health issues that I don’t really want to talk about in detail, so I can understand the reasoning behind why people seek out comfort/feeling from these substances. However, that does not help anyone in the long-run and people addicted to these substances should be provided rehab-treatment to wean off of them for good.

If it is someone with severe mental health issues taking a CBD product as a prescribed medication due to a lack of other effective options...that’s different and my stances on recreational and medicinal marijuana are very different.

As for lower income?
There are many free ways to have fun, and cigarettes aren’t exactly known to be cheap in the long term.

Looking forward to hearing about the future $11/hr cashier job at CVS, which is virtually all that a poli-sci degree alone will get you these days sans actual political involvement. It's literally the most worthless degree financially-speaking on the face of the planet.

That’s what big tobacco wants you to think so that they can continue to murder vulnerable Americans with their product.

It's entirely called for when 1) dude is trying to associate substance use with intrinsic human value and financial potential, and 2) literally poli-sci degrees are among the most financially-worthless degrees one can obtain in terms of long-term ROI. But pop off.
