What a load of shit. I don’t hate addicts of any substance, but refusing to tolerate defense or promotion of terrible substances themselves isn’t hating addicts. Wanting to ban sale of cigarettes or vapes to new users, terribly unhealthy ways to consume an exceptionally addictive substance, isn’t fucking classist. So long as you lobby to fix the terrible conditions that lead people to consume such substances, you can use the law to limit their harm and target those that profit from it.

This sort of argument is overly simplistic and stupid at best, but reeks of bad faith bullshit that promotes the interests of evil corporations while acting like it’s woke.
