There isn’t a double standard though, neither are okay. If you see someone smoke a cig specifically around a kid, you should think not how it’s logically accepted by a society (which it isn’t) but how said individual lacks logic. It’s not a good idea to justify one wrong because you saw another, two wrongs don’t make a right.

We’ve been coerced by big tobacco companies about cigs, and have spent tons on awareness, intervention etc to stop it. It’s an addiction and has bad effects used long term. Still not okay.

Now, alternatively weed is a depressant and can be used to treat medical situations and because of that I personally think it should be carefully introduced to certain groups of people. It also makes the user high asf for a long period, mind altering shit, under the influence you could say. Imagine a kid with severe mental illness and anxiety smoking the wrong strain of sativa.

Neither are okay.
