Nobody likes to be told that they're wrong.
You have to pick your battles. "Drugs are bad for you" is more or less an opinion. They're bad in someways, good in others, there's a definite emotional/physical split when it comes to their effects. If someone is preaching a "truth" that is incorrect factually by all means speak up. If you disagree with an opinion speak up. Don't use your intelligence as a weapon to cut people down, it's a gift to be smart, not everyone has it.
You don't always have to be right. Other people don't always have to be right.
