So I can strap bombs to myself and blow some people up, but not be charged with murder because I am dead?
Technically, uh, yes, but how is that relevant? I'm saying that we as people have the right to end our OWN lives, not others lives unless under specific circumstance like war or being physically assaulted (someone putting your right to life at stake).
um so what you saying is there's no possible way to stop production on something and illegalize it?... dumbass
Right. The Volstead act/18th Amendment to the United States Constitution circa 1919. Do you know what that is? It was known as the start of the prohibition era, which only lasted four years and was largely an
absolute failure.
Illegalizing something doesn't make it disappear you dipstuff. People started brewing alcohol in their own homes, in bathtubs and at hidden bars called "Speakeasies". Crime rates skyrocketed, the Sicilian Mafia took on immense power and thugs like Al Capone became untouchable.
If people want something, they will get it, no matter what the government says. So, to answer your rhetorical question: No, there is absolutely no way to stop the creation and distribution of a substance.
Smoking should be restricted. No more then 15 each week per person.
That however, is impossible to monitor.
No one has the right to tell someone else how much of something they can have (at least until it becomes a problem, like becoming intoxicated at a bar, but even then you really can't do much anyway). To do so is an infringement of civil liberties.
I wonder why smoking is legal, i men, you kill other people too.
Smoking in public is being actively banned. By smoking in public you aren't killing anyone around you, a cigarette isn't a plastic explosive, though you are putting their lives at risk and generally being irritating, an infringement of the right to life and the pursuit of happiness.
