Banning cigarettes is protecting public health

No, it is forcing people to buy unregulated products from illegal dealers. That sounds more dangerous to me.

No one is forcing people to buy cigarettes.

Yes, I support a classless society without exploitation, where the humans own the means of production, democratically.

Ironically, as someone who’s been to a few communist countries, cigarettes are common, legal, and cheap. Micro managing people’s personal lives is an old school progressive philosophy that goes back to Prohibition, and before that, it was the Puritans.
