Why bring that up then? it's not a convincing argument to me.

Then why compare the two? Weed most certainly can be used as a substitute smoking method for nicotine because at least THC is appealing, much more so than Nicotine and can overpower it.
But this whole "some people can't smoke weed" argument is a bad because I never said I want everyone to smoke weed, just everyone who smokes cigs, if they must smoke something.

I never claimed it was simple to get cigarettes out of society. I was saying the concepts I was bringing up were simple. This is an equivocation. And, people can "just stop" but that's for those with strong willpower, not all of us have that, I agree.

Great, then there is no logical argument for keeping cigarettes legal if we could hypothetically get rid of them tomorrow, for example.

Which is a great argument for prohibition of cigs, thanks

Well if I have I apologize but I don't agree, I think you're the only one who's misconstrued anything. Well, you don't need a dealer; there's plenty of decriminalized states you can get a prescription for it, two states where it's completely legal, and a bunch of other states where you can grow your own pot legally. Again, I don't see how the convenience of something makes your case, whatever your case is, you just seem to be butthurt about me being Anti-Cigarette
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
