Please don’t gatekeep being an anti-statist.

Nicotine addiction is a real thing and helps countless people with a coping mechanism that they can rely on. Cigarettes are one of a smoker’s best friends and it can be very hard to leave that friendship. Everyone knows smoking is bad for them and it can create self-image issues. Don’t shame smokers more when they already feel plenty already.

I could agree that smoking tobacco is supporting colonial and imperialist history, therefore supporting the state , but it’s not because of the high taxes.

Yes, tobacco is bad. Yes, people can smoke if they want to.
