Do you mean to say there is still a "societal stamp of approval," on
cigarettes?

This is the most outrageous part of the hypocrisy behind the wrong color
weed.

Smokers are a demonstrable minority, and their rights are curtailed
severely. And they have to pay a huge tariff in the form of sin taxes.

How does cigarette smoking enjoy greater "approval," of society than say
marijuana smoking or XTC taking?

Most who smoke pot or take XTC in the USA don't smoke.

My point is, there is so much disapproval of tobacco smoking and smokers
that it should simply not be legal.
