Why does polluting our lungs, body with smoke be a cool and a thing to do?

@InterstellarButterfly Just like drug addicts who take that first hit? Like alcoholics who take that first drink? The risks are well known for those too. All I was doing was speaking out against the insulting language used against smokers...it is rarely if ever used against other addicts.

@indyjoe what cancer is shared with insulting words? 2nd hand smoke causes lung cancer. a lovely thing we must share and put up with eh?

@indyjoe I'm not anti smoking, if someone wants to that's their choice. But making it sound like they are victims is dumb.

Sure hard drugs are addictive, but most people start on soft stuff which isn't so bad, or addictive, then they progress to harder stuff when they want a better hit or whatever. So comparing cigarettes to hard drugs doesn't really work.
You don't see anti heroin campaigns in the same way you do anti smoking - you can legally buy cigarettes over the counter, you pay your money and make your choice right away fully educated and informed of the risk.

Like i said, no one forces someone to become an addict to cigarettes.
