UK plans to pass law banning anyone born after 2008 to buy cigarettes

Catalyst2422:

I asked you an innocent question

Catalyst2422:

Did you read the next sentence after the one you quoted?

Is simply not an innocent question, it is insulting and implies I have an issue with reading comprehension, and is incredibly absurd considering it has nothing to do with my point. Maybe you made a poor choice of words and didn’t mean it as how it comes across, but that is still on you regardless.

Catalyst2422:

you were labouring under a false assumption.

I was not. The point you responded to about cigarette inhalation was entirely correct and backed by a source, and therefore not even an assumption, let alone a false one.

Catalyst2422:

Thank you for the first sentence here.

Maybe it can serve as an example to you of how to handle being proven wrong with grace.

Note for anyone who wants to respond to me further: I am muting this thread entirely because I think it has become as toxic as cigarette smoking and honestly considering that and how it is not entirely related to privacy or tech I think it should probably be locked and/or unlisted at this point. I am happy to discuss more privately in DMs if you are genuinely interested in a discussion with me about anything I talked about.
