Comment on The solution to many problems
ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 2 days agoMany people that smoke are already mentally unbalanced. Making them a shamed pariah is doing little for their mental health, it is just forcing them to hide yet another bit of their unhappiness.
Not smoking is healthier, no doubt, but the majority of people that still do it undoubtedly have enough shame going on. Self hate comes into play, as well.

I smoke. Shame and self hatred is exactly right.
