Newsflash: burning plant matter still fucks up your lungs, no matter what burning plant it came from. Both weed and tobacco will do a coal mine number on your lungs--weed even more so since right now it's not being regulated. Not that I think weed ought to stay illegal (it shouldn't), just that people need to stop treating tobacco smokers like the new niggers. Like any addiction, it's an addiction and not everyone can quit (or even wants to quit) without help.

Why do so many progressives treat illegal drug addicts with pity but nicotine addicts with so much scorn? It's beyond belief.
If you can find a way for smokers to smoke without forcing everyone else around them to breath the same air at the same time, I would be happy to cut them some slack. Weed smoke is just not focused on because it's not done in public yet.
