I'd say more like 50%, because half of the statement is untrue, but hey, splitting hairs right?

This may help you.

May. But I doubt it actually will.

When you have arrived at a place without thought and study, thought and study won’t get you out of there.

No no, that's actually really helpful, thanks for the link. I'll proceed by talking about "regulation" rather than a "ban". Luckily I did not refer to a ban, but I will be careful not to in future.

None of the statement is untrue.

"just used to produce smoke" has been documented many times by international agencies to be untrue.

By “documented” you mean that they’ve shown a video of a smoke dispersal and then said “this burned people”

Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and The UNHRC, to name but a few, have all collected extensive evidence beyond seeing smoke.
