tobacco is not the most profitable industry known to man.... the arms industry is. Check the figures.
Look, lets put it blunt and honestly, i smoke, most of my friends dont, they respect that i do at the same time as i respect that they dont. That means no smoking in their rooms, no blowing smoke in their face, but it also means them understanding that i could quit, but i would really lose a part of myself in doing so. That more than any need has doomed my precious giving up attempts.
Maybe i am killing myself slowly, but its a free world, i believe you americans fought for hat in some point during your history. If people dont like me smoking near them they tell me to f**k off and i respect that. If they are the quiet type i generally ask them if they mind, and respect their answer.
Quite frankly, it is the stigmata associated with nicotine and other drugs which causes a lot of problems. Cannabis is harmless compared to alcohol, caffeine or even paracetamol, yet it is outlawed because its a "slippery slope". Thats only because authority made it like that.
And who knows, maybe i wouldnt be a smoker if i didnt hate school and want to rebel against it. Smoking does that all too well.
