  • Because prohibition doesn’t work. We tried it with alcohol, it didn’t work. We’ve tried it with most other drugs for decades, it didn’t work.

    Prohibition just creates a black market for whatever drug is banned. The drug will still be available. It will also be adulterated and untested for purity.

    If they were banned, cigarettes would become more like modern heroin. The contents of them would be unknown. In addition to the harms of tobacco, there would be the harms of whatever adulterants the black market sellers put into them.

    Instead of dying over the course of decades of consumption, the smokers of Black Market cigarettes would also potentially be dying immediately from whatever random stuff people put in the cigarettes.

    Everything has just worked. With a bit of googling, I’ve been able to easily do everything I’ve needed to.

    I’m a user, not a programmer. I tried Linux because I was fed up with Windows. I’d been using Windows since 3.1 and hated how they changed basic functionality every revision. I just wanted a fucking OS that worked and made sense m

    I’m so happy I switched!
