If you really think about it, we all need healthy air to be able to live healthy.

Yet smokers pollute the air.

Smoking is murder. Its suicide. Its wrong.

Now that THC gummies are legal, there is no reason to smoke.

Both smoking and farting should be banned.

Are smokers bad for the environment?
Fact 2: 600 million trees are chopped down every year by the tobacco industry. Keep in mind that for every 15 packs of cigarettes a smoker smokes, one tree had to die. Fact 3: US tobacco industry produces 16 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in one year – global tobacco production quadruples that amount.

It's been estimated that this roughly translates to there being around 73 metric tons of methane and 1000 metric tons of carbon dioxide put into the atmosphere by farting daily, equivalent to roughly 1000 people flying from New York to Los Angeles every day.S

Everyone and everything is bad for the environment. Just existing is bad for the environment. Every single thing you use or consume to stay alive polluted the environment in order for you to consume it or use it. Extinction of the entire human race is the only way to solve polluting the environment. The question no one will and cant answer  is how much pollution is to much and how much are you willing to lower your standard of living to meet this  arbitrary made up acceptable level of pollution?

Curbing fossil fuels is a good start in carbon reduction.

See, no one answers the question, same old shit.   Well the things I do are OK and acceptable pollution. Pollution is pollution and you all pollute like pigs just like me. All the single use garbage you buy, all the cheaply built shit that doesn't last  and is designed to fail or be obsolete the day it was made that you buy. You are all complicit in your never ending pollution. You are all hypocrites every last one of you. Your pollution is acceptable and OK.

Everything that occurs within a Universe, is naturally occurring.

Non-original debris, is just human bi-product.

And pollution is an associated concept.

Whether or not this is of any greater concern to anything other than ourselves, is currently unavailable information.

It's no different than allowing other hazardous things, selling toxic , chemical laden food, alcohol, abortion, sexual non genetic reproductive activity, prostitution and all this detrimental to human health.

Why get rid of smoking when we have all these other things to go with it?

Banning what people can put in their mouth might be too restrictive.

"They also smoke in crowded places like restaurants etc." Lies , its illegal to smoke inside a restaurant and most public gathering places,  even places that are outside. Well in the US anyway.

The question no one will and cant answer  is how much pollution is to much and how much are you willing to lower your standard of living to meet this  arbitrary made up acceptable level of pollution?

What is the minimal acceptable { a poll } standard of living for 51% ---65%-75%--  of humans, to save humanity from a coming barbarism of great suffering?

Fresh water { minimal to moderate value },

Nutrition { minimal to moderate value },

Shelter { includes clothing for various environmental set of circumstances }

Community { the collective set of feeling of connected-ness to others aka sharing the experience and communicating about it },

Feed all of the relevant information into computers and find at least 195 different options --as in 195 nations of ideas--- and take a vote of humanity on those options, and retake the vote as feedback regularly.

Humans ability to communicate is key to least amount of suffering going forward into the future erratic climate change, and so many hydrogen bombs ready to be ignited or an ensuing chaos of barbarism without use of those hydrogen bombs. 

To all-for-one and one-for-all, a good night, a good day and a good future.

Why add smoking to the list when it can be voluntarily controlled?

Too bad you can’t sue your parents. Did you try?

I think I ruined their life enough so far. Plus, I already take their money. Not sure what would be the point of sue. Besides, I dont believe in the efficiency of the legal system, since people who enforce it are elected by retards who break it.

Aren’t you glad your parents didn’t sue you. They just threw you out of their house. That solved the second hand smoking as well.
