there are a great many things we do with no benefit. smoking has just as much benefit to those who enjoy it as any other thing you do. and as pointed out over and over again if you dont want to be around it you dont have to. there is no more smoking in public places and before people complain about having to walk past 3 or 4 smokers outside a building and it stinks well we should ban diesel trucks first then 'cuz they stink up the road driving by much more than smokers ever have.

Various studies have indicated that moderate amounts of all types of alcohol benefit your heart, not just alcohol found in red wine. Some heart-healthy benefits of alcohol include: - Raises high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol
- Inhibits the formation of blood clots
- Helps prevent artery damage caused by high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the "bad" cholesterol
