Yes please. Sick of the double standard. Can't buy flavoured nicotine anymore but can still buy sickeningly flavoured liquor.

It's poison, quite literally. State sponsored leathal posion. But it makes money and it's legal, so it's very cool.

Making it illegal won't solve any problems.

I didn't say they should make it illegal. But stip being hypocrits about it. They still need studies to legalize marijuana, because there isn't enough data for it to be save and jada jada. Okay, but we have more than enough data that shows just how bad and dangerous both alcohol and cigarettes are.
