But if you don't care that they smoke, and you don't care if they quit,
why should you care that they start?

So in fact it's nicotine's fault, and not the tobacco giants. Surely
that absolves them from any kind of blame.
> BTW Drakir could you stop smoking if you wanted to?
If I were isolated from other smokers then it wouldn't be a problem, but
it's seeing other people smoke that makes me want a cigarette more than
anything else.

Had a next door neighbour who smoked 70 a day for 50 years, and he died
of pneumonia (not brought on by smoking, either, apparently)!

After it catches and spreads the security goes up, and potential
assassins are shot dead by body gaurds. I mean, they're dead already,
so what's it matter whether they die from cancer of gunshot wounds.

Surely Nuclear disarmament and the introduction of more democratic
governing systems all over the world are more immediately for the
greater good of humankind. Stopping the trade in tobacco merely makes
massive unemployment.

Well, then where is all the money?
I'm glad you think I'm really nice, though :)
