> The amount of support for drug prohibition in this thread really surprises me. Why shouldn’t an adult have the freedom to smoke and put themselves at high risk of lung cancer? I'm not for drug prohibition either but there should be very specific legislation around use of tobacco for minors. No informed adult in their right mind would start smoking tobacco. It's incredibly deadly and addictive, and not even enjoyable before you're an addict. The problem is that people start smoking when they are kids or teenagers and are unable to stop when they become conscious of the problem. In my country, selling tobacco to minors would lead to an insignificant fine. This is insane. I can't make any sense of it.
