In a way it sorta did. Not directly obviously but if you look at the history of bitcoin, its first truly viable use was darknet markets. After getting established as the currency there, it proved it could work and banks n all started buying it, so it was the weed that did it in a way

I'm from Ireland but pretty much any country I've been has all been automatic urinals
Mafia series and middle earth series
Look it up urself I'm on holiday and its a been a day they werent hard to find
Tax smokers more and use that money to pay for it it also works as a passive deterrent to stop smoking.
Edit: looking up the numbers it seems they could already pay for any nhs costs that appear solely from the taxes on tobacco so thats not an issue your getting mad at nothing idk what to say except live and let live
I feel like cigs on prescription is a fast way to get an oxy-like black market. You'd have people faking prescriptions to sell those cigs most likely to people who smoke more than the doctor wants them to or js children. Denmark is an example of a country which banned disposables yet a lot of teens still vape there they js buy em from dealers instead of stores thus increasing the danger for them
So ud genuinely rather non smokers die than let smokers get medical care? I feel like I have to be reading this wrong thats a bit psychopathic to admit that once someones smokes u actively dislike them so much ud be okay w collateral damage to prevent them getting medical care
I suppose i wouldnt oppose a ban like that in theory, but because doctors rnt omniscient, in practice, you'd end up with either, smokers not being treated for illnesses completely unrelated to their smoking, or non smokers not being treated because doctors think its related to smoking. I mean how could u tell for 100% certain someone is a smoker, I can bet theres smokers out there w still perfectly white teeth etc and non smokers whos lungs r black from car exhausts. Is it really worth letting a non smoker die js because you dont wanna pay for the smoker too? Its hardly like people r gonna be honest abt smoking when they won't get free healthcare for it
Did u read the article? It says he is the median for his age bracket
I dont agree w her not vaccinating but to a degree its the other way around. Medication introduces a new selection pressure on pathogens thus causing them to become more resistant. As the other person said, rest, hydration and nutrients r all thats needed in most cases, and overactive measures are bad. its good to be cautious but not overly so to the point u take antibiotics for every single infection (unless ur doctors told u to).
Fr tho people seem to forget abt inflation a lot when talking abt the old days
I didn't say anything abt the first purchase so unsure how this is relevant
Edit: excerpt
Silk Road proved the market for secure anonymous transactions based on blockchain ledgers, and the viability of cryptocurrency in general. Before the Silk Road marketplace, Bitcoin was mainly a novelty, with the first Bitcoin transaction famously being 10,000 BTC for 2 pizzas. Shortly after the Silk Road darknet market took off, Bitcoin reached $266 per coin, and the Silk Road marketplace became a $200 million operation.
