Yeah, can we stop normalizing extremely harmful and addictive substance use? It’s really weird how there are so many pro-smoking posts cropping up everywhere.

Anyone I’ve ever met IRL that smokes deeply regrets ever starting and would never encourage others to pick it up.

Idk, if a meme convinces someone to start smoking, they probably would get into it regardless.

  Memes that depict it positively are a subtle way to normalize the behavior.

    True, but so does seeing it on the street. That’s just cohabitation with other humans.

    No need to have that glorified on the internet though :)

  As a one time thing, sure. But when they start seeing it several times a day, it makes it seem normal. It maybe adds to their curiosity so they end up trying it.

  Big “I just sold them the drugs, I didnt make them use it” energy right here.

    That’s a hell of a leap to conclusions, lol
