Why do people hate wrist cutting so much and praise smoking? Like isn't it the same thing? at the end of the day you're still harming yourself, the cigarrate is like the razor the smoking is the cutting I don't get why one is demonized but another is accepted and has stores for it at the end of the day it harms us, Like if i went to school with a cut wrist I would be sent to the office and to a mental hospital but when a kid vapes they just give em a slap on the wrist and just lets them go, plus why is smoking so normalized to the point where we have vape stores and shit? Why is one form of self harmed so normalized but other demonized it just doesn't make any sense, Yes i get its a addiction but why are we supporting addiction by adding all these smoking stores and shit? Opinions?

I think it's because with self harm you can visibly see the damage it causes. With smoking no one can see how bad your lungs are. It's all about perspective. what you are saying makes sense and I often have agruments about this same exact thing aswell whenever I relapse and a friend or my partner comes down on me.

I think the same thing to to be honest, but you can eventually see the damage the vaping has done when the person goes to the hospital or coughs up blood I seriously don't understand how this world works Like it confuses me so much "Don't harm yourself but here's a smoking store if you want to" "Don't cut yourself you can die go to the hospital" Like the fuck?? It just doesn't make sense we normalized one form of self harm so much that nobody bats a eye that it's self harm, and tbh its worst than wrist cutting especially second hand smoke. The world makes ZERO sense.
