"A lot of alcohol- and drug-dependency things, they only want to speak to you if your aim is complete sobriety... And like I said, the anti-tobacco ads, they don't see any nuance... They're just like 'Smoking is bad, and you're only going to be safe if you completely don't use it.' And I think that's just a view of the world that's kind of unrealistic right now." - Lucas, 22-year-old pansexual cis man
