I suggest building a parallel justice system for Peter Thiel. It will be powered by guillotines.

Oh no, not the free market!

I know. People already sell illegally imported cigarettes too, but I don’t think it’s nearly as problematic as the black market for other drugs is.

I started smoking when I was 14. Smoked a pack a day for a while, smoked my last in my thirties.

The point of a rolling ban isn’t meant to make you quit, it’s to stop people from starting and it will work. Not for everyone, but for a lot of people it will.

I honestly don’t think this will lead to a massive black market like some people seem to think. I don’t see big profit margins that would make cigarettes an attractive thing to sell illegally. You can only make them so expensive if you can just find someone older to buy them for you for the normal price.

Besides, smoking is pretty shit really. There aren’t going to be loads of people willing to go through the hassle of getting cigarettes illegally when all they do is stink and give you cancer. Especially when the people who can’t buy them will mostly be people who haven’t had a chance to get addicted yet.

I think this will work and be a net positive in the long run.

I don’t know man. I think it’s pretty self evident that travelling the world, killing people who did you no harm for money is bad and I feel anyone with a functioning brain should be able to come to that conclusion on their own, no matter how they were brought up and what they were taught and if they can’t, then that’s on them.

It was never put to me at all. I’m just not fucking stupid and/or wilfully ignorant. Either way, being brainwashed doesn’t absolve people from all responsibility for their actions.

When was the last time the US military did something good? They should have known better. Signing up to kill people isn’t suddenly okay, just because you’re desperate.
