I'm realistic more than pessimistic, but perhaps that's optimistic?

And like Gower in this video, I lost my father to smoking-related cancers - he was 64.
I myself went through withdrawal symptoms when I moved to university because the whole house was always full of smoke. I was a second-hand mini-addict. I don't think he'd ever have chosen that for me, but he was so far gone he never put our safety above his habit.

When the indoor smoking ban came in in 2007 he even had an exception for his office at work - illegally - because he'd have quit if they didn't let him continue to smoke inside.

Tobacco is poison, don't let people reframe these laws as anything but progress against a huge harm.

It's literally the opposite.

Tobacco companies have always relied on people developing a habit young, to lock in an addicted customer base, all while killing at least half of all users. But it takes decades, and the science wasn't there at first - then they suppressed it - so cigarettes still exist. And now they've got the vaping market too, which was a mistake to allow to happen.

But work like this means fewer people starting to smoke in the first place. Saving lives. Access to deadly, highly addictive products from unethical profiteers isn't freedom. It's a crime against humanity. Past time we made more progress stopping it.
