Interesting ethical question.

Should you be banned from doing something harmful to yourself?

I think the argument is around "harmful to yourself". I think there are arguably already many laws that don't give you permission to "harm yourself".

UK likes to ban things. Sooner or later, you wonโ€™t be able to take a shit without getting a license from the government. ๐Ÿ˜‚

No. I've never smoked, ppl shouldn't smoke, I hate the smell of it etc. It is much more important though that govt doesn't get another reason to ask for identification, age verification etc. Legalise weed, shrooms, ayahuasca instead.

Aside from very obvious data and evidence. Who is to say what is harmful? Government interferes foo much. Also worth noting that smokers were less affected by "Covid".

Smoking bans only exist to drive up vape sales because if given the choice nobody would vape.

Smokers were less likely to die from Covid. Nicotine is nueroprotective. Smoking is, on the whole, bad for us, but banning for entire population is retarded.

I have never smoked, but people should be allowed to do whatever they want (barring violence to others).

Organic tobacco is a super plant, like a super food. Those who have tried it know. It literally makes you feel super human. TPTB know this. If you can grow your own, do it.
