Hawaii votes to ban cigarettes for those under 21

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

@Vega, I imagine this is primarily aimed at Natives, no? Sort of how most Alaska boroughs are Prohibitionist?

Anyway, we should clearly ban cigarettes and make people roll their own.

Also, people ignore the role of tobacco companies pushing their wares upon vulnerable people: for example, under 21's.

The silly thing is that feckless legislatures have for too long relied on tobacco taxes as band-aids to fix budgets. Ironically enough, it is now the government that must drop its dependence.

The majority of smokers are working class. Every increase in cigarette taxes and every step toward making the product harder and harder to get is a step toward the further criminalization of working class life.

It's only part of working class life because of decades of propoganda from Big Tobacco.
