Why is smoking legal?

i do extra work just to support my habits/addictions. i would not otherwise do it. sure, it is expensive, but it doesn't really hurt me financially because i have incentive to make more money. people don't really think about that either.

think about crackheads. they often have next to nothing, yet somehow spend hundreds of dollars A DAY on their habit. if they were as creative, morally flexible, and opportunistic about making money to invest in foreign banks as they are to buy crack, they'd all be millionaires.

i'm not saying that we're like crackheads, but as humans, we certainly do find ways to beef our income to fill gaps left by things such as cigarettes.

also, when i was at UNM, they tried that "no smoking within 20 feet of any public doorway" thing. what they got was a bunch of self righteous dipshits standing outside of the popular halls, with 20 foot semicircles drawn in chalk, attempting to scold us and create some vigilante supernerd enforcement squad.

what they got was a whole bunch of water and lit cigarette butts thrown in their faces. yelling, self righteous dipshits make excellent butt flicking target practice.
 
The state I'm currently living in for college has a 20 ft law. No one really takes it seriously. There are also some areas on campus where it would be impossible to get 20 ft away from a building.
 
Despite all of the well known health issues with smoking, it's still a matter of personal freedom. It's the same reason why I support euthenasia, if you wanna kill yourself that's your right.

Same reason why I support the legalization of pot; it's a matter of personal freedom, and pot is practically harmless anyway.

Trying to outlaw tobacco is like prohibition all over again: it won't work, not EVER. They tried to ban alcohol and look how far that got them.

It makes no sense that tobacco and alcohol are legal and kills thousands every year, and yet pot hasn't killed a single person in all of recorded history (actual fact!).

I really really wanna....You sir are a fuc....NOPE.

You must be a stoner to boot huh? Pot is perfectly harmless huh?

Alchohol and pot go hand in hand as far as what kills people. Ever heard of a DUI. Called "Driving Under the Influence". You think you cant hurt someone while driving and being stoned? You are young and foolish then.

Youre just making it to easy.

HRD
 
Actually, pot doesn't kill. Even behind the wheel, it doesn't.
