Suppose I’d also viewed nostupidquestions as a home for short form answers to simple questions that aren’t otherwise easily searchable and asklemmy/reddit as a place more for discussion over more complicated topics

Starting on NoStupidQuestions is a good place to start. Usually get a few general answers and recommendation to the proper community

Day 1 “Can you name a single significant competitor in your market?” “…” “We rest our case your honor”

They’re making a new game with that exact premise actually. Only one planet but still

After over 500 times it seems more appropriate to revoke and never allow reapplication

Fair point but for tobacco I think it would be different. Granted its a subjectively biased opinion but every smoker I’ve talked to wants to quit and just needs the proverbial last straw to put it down for good. If tobacco spikes in price that will be that straw for many people. Sure plenty of folks will still want to use tobacco and will do their best to skirt that tax but it will be a fraction of the current total smoking population that will continue to shrink. Additionally higher taxes kneecap the ability of manufacturers to raise prices on their goods so if theres no profit to be made the industry itself shrinks.

Prohibition never works, if people want something then they are going to find it. The only thing this does is make smoking tobacco even less safe than it already is. If they truly wanted people to stop smoking then they just need to keep raising the tax on it year after year but of course new taxes are unpopular and politicians hate to be unpopular
