We have countless data proving the objective harms of smoking. We have anti-smoking ad campaigns lasting generations. We have brought civil actions against tobacco companies for hiding cancer risks and harming individuals…. why WOULDN’T the american public support a complete tobacco ban?

People rarely think they’re the ones who are gonna die/suffer because of it.

Added to that, there’s the separate but related reason of, these deaths are slow and gradual. They don’t catch attention like sudden deaths do.

The mundane, boring, and gradual are severely underrated–like how people will fear flying the few times in their life they do it, much more than they’ll fear driving or being in traffic daily.
