That’s a lot of text to try and convince me that the most addictive substance on earth is anything but awful for society as a whole. Edit: Removing some snark, you’re arguing for some therapeutic benefit to nicotine. So surely you’d be for a blanket ban on the sale of all nicotine products with the exception of a highly regulated prescription market and subsequent labeling of nicotine as a controlled substance, right?

> That’s a lot of text to try and convince me I type and think fast, sorry. I’m also not trying to convince you as much as provide counters to bad arguments. You’re right to speak is important to me, but I’m practising harm reduction. > surely you’d be for a blanket ban on the sale of all nicotine products No. Age restrictions or sin taxes are one thing given the negative externalities, but if someone prefers a light vaping habit over a Frappuccino habit it’s not up to me to push them onto the black market. Prohibition very often leads to worse outcomes.
