      American healthcare is in shambles with maximized suffering due to this EXACT sentiment. You may as well have asked why I care about society.

      Also why would you assume I don’t know anyone who will suffer directly from smoking and vaping? I certainly do. I have a relative who died from a stroke that was almost certainly linked to decades of smoking. I have others who already have had health problems from smoking and switched to vaping. Expecting them to realize that is also hurting their health after it’s too late.

      You really did not think before you wrote that comment, other than you thought about your right to vape without ever hearing the objective truth about it: that it’s unhealthy.

        That’s a lot of words. I have a right to do unhealthy things to my own body, sorry. Even if I’m downvoted!

          I’m allowed to talk about how unhealthy your bad habit is, last I checked.

          You asked a question you didn’t care about, ignored my valid point, then tried to pretend I’m threatening your rights. Gotta be a Republican. 👋

            As if you have no “unhealthy” habits. I’m just not an insufferable prick that judges others for their decisions. You’ll put a toll on the healthcare system at some point in your life, too.

              Yes I have unhealthy habits which I’m not telling you to shut up about. You came into the thread and pretended this was a personal attack when all it ever was is a concern for the harm certain things have in society. It’s really not complicated, stop trying to change this conversation into something it never was for me

                Sir, you are the one that is all flustered and apparently under attack. Go back and read the text exchange and calm down please.

                Folks are free to do whatever unhealthy things they want to their body without upsetting whatever kind of person you are.

                “Anyone who doesn’t agree with me is a Republican” is so outdated as well.

                  If you weren’t upset you wouldn’t be repeatedly claiming I’m infringing on your rights. But I won’t have to see any more of your baseless accusations moving forward. 🚫

                    I’m stating a fact, and you are using charged language. I’m talking about body autonomy and you’re talking about controlling what others are doing. I’m not emotional, but using my human rights as a justification for my argument.
