This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Also my opinion, and the outcome of prohibition would suggest that society at large generally believes this as well.
...with an obvious exception for minorities...
Which was my point. Apparently the politics of it, and decades of anti tobacco propaganda (and I dont intend the normally negative connotation the word has, it just is what it is) have made this acceptable somehow... for an obviously racial/homophobic exception to just be openly declared and apparently acceptable... it's kinda weird to me.
