You act like wine and a baguette isn't already at their bedside

Smoke a baguette maybe?

Buy Italian cigarettes?

Roll a doob.

Hit a fat cloud on his vape

Close the grave again.

Doggy style?

Not anymore. It's all changing for the worse. I hear they're coming after the baguettes next. The mimes are speechless.

No no that's still accurate, it's just that the cigarettes are imported now.

Jokes aside, I swear they really do walk around with baguettes in hand. 3 days in Paris, sitting at multiple cafes, and we saw it in the morning, at lunch, in the evening. Men, Women, Children, well dressed, poorly dressed (for a Parisian), black, white, brown, blue, green, every combination in between, we'd see someone walking around with baguettes. I've lived in multiple cities and visited even more in the US and Europe. Never have I seen so many people walking around with bread!

Yes monsieur.

Well you still have 50% of the adult population regularly smoking so nothing change on this part.

Ban use in public in general. I don't want to be forced to walk through a cloud of cigarette smoke in front of a train station or waiting at a traffic light any more than in a restaurant. People can do what they want at home but constantly having to deal with drug addicts polluting the air around me shouldn't be accepted.

We learned our lesson during the alcohol prohibition years in America.

We're not America and we're not banning alcohol, nor are we banning the drug in tobacco that people smoke it for.

So it is an entirely different scenario to either American prohibition or to cannabis.

Yep, all the while alcoholism is at all time highs, so much so that they had to rebrand it as social drinking. Alcohol, still allowed to advertise every where, and can sell fruit flavors, but tobacco...nope. Tobacco should be left alone at this point. The majority of people don't smoke, like like 7% in the USA, this includes all tobacco users. Prohibition just creates blackmarkets and death.

I agree ... Prohibition doesn't work.

But making it very difficult and expensive to maintain an addictive habit would much better.

The same would go for alcohol. If alcohol was more regulated, more controlled, not sold in public houses or businesses (including bars) and the price increased, taxed more with taxes going towards addiction treatment, education and medical assistance for those affected by alcohol .... less people would drink alcohol.

If you have a culture where you freely allow businesses to promote, sell and provide an addictive substance that provides little to no health benefit .... especially if it makes high profits ... companies will want to encourage a culture of making their substance widely acceptable.

Alcohol looks acceptable because it's promoted, advertised and normalized everywhere. If it weren't, less people would be drinking.

Advertising of smoking is highly regulated and discouraged now ... smoking is no longer normalized ... which is why people smoke less.

i will be a cigarette smuggler in this modern age
