Cigarettes should be a class one drug. They don’t have any accepted medical use and have a high potential for abuse.
social issue
I’m so tired and sick of the idea of smoking being cool or classy, it’s not. I also don’t understand why the hell society doesn’t have a bigger problem with this. If you ask me, it’s not enough that it’s prohibited in certain public spaces (a rule that is often not respected by smokers anyway). Since smoking has no medical use (or at least not any that have scientific backing), combined with its high potential for abuse and addiction, it needs to be treated with the severity it deserves. And don’t give me that bullshit of “smoking doesn’t hurt anybody but the smoker, so piss off”, because second hand smoke definitely exists and can even cause lung cancer in non smokers. I don’t give a fuck if “ohhh society’s normalized it so it’s too late”, because we’ve changed a lot of normalized things since the last century. submitted by /u/JugOrNotIPreferMugs to r/unpopularopinion [link] [comments]
