minus-squareWoodlandAlliance@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·10 months agoYou’re changing the topic. The government has the right to ban cigarettes because they have the right to support healthcare infrastructure. Whether or not they should ban them is a whole separate topic.
minus-squareXbSuper@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·10 months agoWhether or not they have the right, was never the argument here, it’s always been about whether they should or not. Dodging my question because it backs you into a corner really doesn’t help your side either.
minus-squareWoodlandAlliance@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·10 months ago Seems like a good thing to me. Let people decide for themselves, it’s not the government’s job to tell them what they can and can’t put in their body. Your exact words. You said nothing about if a government “should” do anything, you said it’s not their job. You lost the argument just move on.
