It is because it causes cancer. And not only that, it causes cancer in those around smokers as well the smokers themselves. You don’t have to be a smoker to die from it.
Gyms were closed because they are an excellent way of spreading disease. It’s a lot of people in fairly close contact spreading bodily fluids all over the place. Even if you wipe down the equipment, you’ve still gotten germs on it. You’re also breathing harder than normal and thus spreading droplets farther.
There are other ways to keep healthy. People can do workouts at home, or even better, outside. “They” actually encouraged people in areas that could to walk or jog outside more. I saw people in my area out walking the first couple of weeks of the pandemic, and then after that, not many people. I am out walking and playing with dogs all the time, so I noticed.
Also, who is the they you’re referring to? I’m guessing you’re mad about the new tobacco laws. The ones the voters upheld and said we want in place. So of course you’re saying they because you’re referring to the American people, a phrase you love to use when referring to conservative bigots only and not the rest of us. We voted in many places to keep tobacco products out of restaurants, bars, etc, because we like being able to breathe. I personally like going to concerts and not leaving with a massive headache due to the fucking cigarette smoke. I like going to restaurants and not having someone’s cigarette smoke ruin my food (even with the “smoking section”).
It’s not necessarily known how the vaping things affect health down the road, as they are a new product. They have unfortunately had some bad effects on people now, especially teenagers. Vaping may be “smoke-free” but you’re still inhaling something into your lungs that you maybe shouldn’t be inhaling.
Nicotine doesn’t free your mind for shit. It makes you severely dependent, which is exactly what you want, Fucker. Smoking isn’t a threat to democrats, it’s a threat to all of us.
