I agree, I'm not for what they do to the tobacco smokers (and I hate nothing more than self-righteous former smokers who become huge tobacco nazis, unlike myself, a former tobacco smoker who doesn't care if people smoke), but at the same time, it irks me to hear tobacco smokers complaining about how they are more deamonized than pot smokers are. When they outlaw tobacco, I'll pay more attention to that argument....

I can relate to what your saying, but I like fine Cigars so I hate to see the attack against tobacco smokers. But unlike somebody that smokes a couple packs a day, I can just say alright it's to expensive I won't smoke them any more. But somebody hooked on nicotine is not that lucky, just ask my wife.

I for one have never said, nor heard anyone else say, that tobacco smokers are more demonized than pot smokers.
But in some ways it is true - everyone is not continually being bombarded with news stories that pot causes everything from alzheimers to zits day in and day out the way you do about tobacco.
I think pot being illegal is ridiculous - what I and many others are trying to do is keep tobacco from going the way of pot. When we accomplish that, I will be more than happy to turn my energies to re-legalizing marijuana.
