Still, and I mean no offense here, I still smoke because I want to and like to, knowing every danger it brings me I still have the right to do it to myself. Right of ones own body and all…
And for the healthcare part, I just did my part and paid more than will probably be needed myself in advance over the passed 20+ years… The only cost I will make by death from smoking will have come from my pocket when I was alive and still glad I could smoke. 😅
Also, don’t get me wrong, I do agree you should not smoke among non-smokers, at least not physically, cause at that point a smoker is causing physical harm to someone that choses not to be harmed by it, I do get and hold myself to that. I also hate smokers that just smoke anywhere at anytime (my own mother, for example, will always eat small portions and immediately smoke at the table after, even though nobody else is finished), but that’s just terrible manners or attitude and arguably does not origin from the fact they smoke, rather the other way around,…
I’m just not a fan of more rules with more reasons to become a criminal for doing mundane things. I get that we shouldn’t endanger eachother with our behaviors, but full banning things eventually gets enforced to your home included, and you just know one day the cops will be showing up cause somebody saw a young looking person smoke through a home window, because “if it’s illegal, it must be evil and stopped.” and will also make it impossible for anyone under the rising barrier to ever be able to get help stopping when they want to, cause it’ll forever get them in trouble admitting they do…
Either way, aside from the smoking, though, I also don’t think it’s a good idea to start introducing laws with a rising age-barrier,… History has shown us plenty of times it is not a very productive thing to separate groups of people for life according to a personal trait they didn’t choose to have/be. 😕
