I do celebrate it! I truly do. It shouldn't be illegal. It should be regulated & treated as an awful disgusting vice that people can legally, but can't be advertised, has to have gruesome images on the packaging, and that as a society we try and convince people not to do. Exactly like smoking.
It hurts my heart to say this, because I personally genuinely HATE smoking. I grew up in a smoking household, and instead of becoming a smoker, I went right to the other side of the spectrum. Gave my family hell for it. Really hate smoking of any kind. I also have a crap sense of smell now, but I can smell a smoker a mile away, and I hate the smell.
but I don't want it to be illegal. When it's illegal, it still happens, but all the profit goes underground and just makes everything worse. I'd prefer it was all legally produced, regulated, legally sold, taxed, etc etc.
Then we just follow the Australian / New Zealand playbook for reducing smoking, which has been incredibly successful.
(2 Side Notes:
1) Australia is dropping the ball on vaping, which sucks.
2) I wish they'd do the same sort of thing with gambling too.
