You can't force someone to stop the urge to get high, or to be friends with other users.

Cigarettes do only one thing: kill you. And since they're legal now, you can't just take that away. Banning this product from being sold to potential new smokers is the only fair way to phase it out. But again, if people are dead set on becoming addicted to nicotine, there's always vaping.

I understand the cynicism, but instead of just disregarding this as a bad idea because apples, realize that this is oranges.

Lol. You know nicotine is a drug right?
