    Never forget: the system is working as intended. Unfortunately. Costs are high, because an incredibly small, undemocratic Elite keeps them high.

    I live in Austria and Vienna, the capital, has about 80,000 empty apartments. That’s 4 times more than needed to house EVERY SINGLE HOMELESS PERSON IN AUSTRIA.

    As long as we keep allowing individuals to become infinitely rich (and thus powerful) nothing will change. We need to tax the shit out of them and socialize and democratize big businesses.













  • already done, even with images of lung cancer, addicted people don’t care and kids think it’s “cool” and “taboo”

    They’re effective.

    The effectiveness of tobacco warning labels has been studied extensively over the past 50 years, and research shows that they are generally effective in changing smoking attitudes and behaviors.[3][4][5] A 2009 science review determined that there is “clear evidence that tobacco package health warnings increase consumers’ knowledge about the health consequences of tobacco use”. The warning messages “contribute to changing consumers’ attitudes towards tobacco use as well as changing consumers’ behavior”.[6]

    same as above.

    Haven’t seen them here in Austria/Germany. Also if you do that put websites not phone numbers there.

    how are you going to catch them? who is gonna enforce the law, the chain smoker cop? you directly, going against an highly aggressive person who’s in the middle of nicotine withdrawal?

    I mean I can still drive faster then allowed if nobody is watching. Should we stop enforcing speed limits because of that?

    i’d personally say just fuck it and outlaw cigarettes and vapes entirely, they’re durgs after all, no?

    It’s way to ingrained into society to be outlawed completely.

    I’m for controlled legalization of ALL drugs but keep them highly regulated. Drugs that directly harm others, like smoking should only be allowed in very specific locations like at home.











  • Taxes are fine but there are more effective ways.

    • Remove vending machines which provide this drug 24/7
    • move dispensary to drug stores
    • put BIG warning labels on packages and every single cigarette
    • prohibit smoking in ALL public spaces
    • prohibit smoking while driving
    • prohibit smoking while near vulnerable groups (kids, pregnant women, ill) even at home
    • put quit smoking programs onto every package
    • put even more money into prevention
