    It’s not a zero sum. You can be against both.

    That argument sounds like someone whining about car accidents while setting themselves on fire… one does not make the other okay.

      One is clearly worse, can be stopped, and isn’t bullshit.

      The other is whiny bullshit, and your analogy sucks.

      But people aren’t against it. They are against cigarettes and vaping because they don’t like them. Alchohol? Totally fine. Pills? Goochie. Caffeine? Can’t live without it. And if it’s a matter of smell, then when are we making not showering illegal? Also, axe body spray, perfumes, incense, and any other form of non-consensual smells?

      These things will never be banned because people like them. The same argument applies, but it doesn’t get railed against because they don’t bother you.
