Yea not everything is a partisan issue, and this seems like a good thing? Antismoking efforts have largely been successful in a lot of places.

It's not one of those things where someone is choosing to harm themselves only. Smoking affects the people around you

So many people like to portray everything as a 'personal choice' while ignoring all said implications to others. Very rarely does something only actually impact you.

With enough hoop jumping anything can have a terinary chain of impact if you need to justify your cause.

Too many people use it as a cop-out to avoid being accountable. It's like when meat eaters say it's a 'personal choice.' Like yeah, it is a choice you mean, but it also implicates other things not only you.
