Know What I Don’t Get About Adults..?

Question by Diana: Know what I don’t get about adults..?
So I found this question..
Where it was “I found my mom’s pot, what do I do?” & I’d say..more than half of the answers were “You’re over-reacting, its just weed.”
Then I found this other question a while back.. & it said “What do I do? My mom found my cig’s?!” & ALL of the fuc*ing answers except for like.. 2 out of I’d say about..14 were “You shouldn’t be smoking! You’re getting lungcancer. Blah blah blah”
Seriously?
I’m not saying adults shouldn’t smoke but its weed vs. cigs.
Weed is illegal. Cig’s aren’t.
They’re both smoking, the teen & adult but the adult is smoking ‘worst’. (Acording to the law)
Not saying I hate weed or cigs.. How are you gonna say not to do something..but do it 10x worst.
STILL NOT SAYING I HATE WEED OR ANYTHING.
