But I just wish people would react the same to other issues with HALF the temerity they do for smoking. Cancer rates are going through the roof, much of it isn't smoking related, but there isn't a peep from people about getting chemicals out of food and listing carcenagens on products.
I bet half the people complaining; quite rightly, have drunken under the influence (by however much) many times.

Why do people always compare smoking and alcohol or fast food?
I don't wake up and have Big Mac, I don't take a few shooter breaks throughout the day, I go weeks on end without fast food or alcohol. And when I do have a Whopper, the person sitting next to me isn't going to be inhaling carcinogens (unless I had beaked beans for dinner the night before).
Outside of all the harmful effects, how many other over-the-shelf products are there that are anywhere near as chemically addictive when used for it's designed purpose?
