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?

Chemical addiction? What's that got to do with anything? Its the smoke that you passively inhale that's wrong not whether we're banning addictive things. And by the way there are thousands of carcinogenic items that are on the market, unknown to the public. They're not over the counter pharmacist goods.
If you actually read my post you'll see I'm not comparing smoking to other issues, I'm wishing there was as much bile and awareness of other harmful areas of society that would be challenged.
And by the way there are people that do eat fast food and become fat *******s and take up hospital space, drain the resources of healthcare, increase waiting lists and the public at large passively gets the results of that. But no one makes a peep about it. Christ almighty!
