No, prohibition does not work., but where smoking is allowed should be severely restricted

Yes, because maybe I'd quit then. But then again, I'm not suppose to be smoking in my rental..... No, NO. It should not be banned

No. What Wango said.

If we legalize marijuana, a lot of criminals are going to have to find new products to produce, smuggle, and distribute; so only if legalized weed is universally accepted. As a bonus there's already a huge market.

I think banning them could be the start of a slippery slope. What's next? Alcohol? both are bad for people, but I believe in allowing people their vices.I think both sides of the ideological spectrum want to bully people. The right wants to deny access to reproductive rights, for example, while the left wants to protect us from our access to products and situations that are self injurious.

No. Good grief very tired of the puritanical bs. Why on earth can't people leave others alone?

Can't stand them. Go out of my way to avoid them. But it would mean me doing to others the very thing I wouldn't want them doing to me - denying a simple pleasure.

I do not understand why people smoke.

We have known for over 40 years that smoking causes cancer, heart disease, stroke, emphysema and a painful, early death.

My asthma was likely caused by my chain-smoking father. Dad died of cancer at age 51. He never met his grandchildren.

Banning something doesn't work. If you ban something adults want to use, they will buy it illegally. At least if it's legal, there are regulations to keep it safe. If it becomes illegal, it will become unsafe. I don't mean safe to smoke it, I mean safe to buy it.

What would be next?

Where would it stop?
