Oh but it is. It is your autonomous right to duck yourself up. It's not healthy or smart and your peers will push back at your decision. , but it is your right! Fuck this authoritarian "we will decide what you can and cannot do"

Oh but it just isn't. Tobacco is a controlled substance in pretty much every country in the world. Now you may disagree as to where this government is being too restrictive and that's fine, but it doesn't mean you have any inherent rights to consume tobacco. The same way you don't have a right to consume heroine or meth.
