    Smoking is awful, disgusting, and through the diseases it causes puts a massive burden on the healthcare system… buuuut, educational campaigns to encourage people to stop and limiting it in media/banning advertisements is definitely the way to go over yet another prohibition law.

        Most drugs are prohibited in most countries, throughout most of history.

        You’re thinking specifically of American alcohol prohibition in the 1920s. It is you who is projecting americanism.
