People today hold no accountibility for their own actions. Period.
I smoke, but only at work or other social situations. I enjoy it. It's a relaxing way to take a break from the action - and I know that it may lead to some health problems in the future. Oh well. I'll take the risk. I'll most likely die from something else, anyway.
I drink large quantities of liquor from time to time. I enjoy it. I like the experience, how it makes me feel, and the purification that comes the day after - and I know that it may lead to some health problems in the future. It's worth the risk.
I enjoy a soda occasionally. Carbonated beverages are tasty and a good way to relieve thirst. I realize that the sugar will eventually lead to tooth decay and weight gain, but I'm willing to take that risk.
Anything , if not used in moderation, can kill you. Using products that have limited harmful effects should be determined by the individual. Personally, I get pissed when I go to a restaurant and there's no smoking section (this even annoyed me when I was a young kid, before I smoked...total discrimination). I remember when bowling alleys, malls, and all places to eat had a smoking section. Now I'm amazed if I see one.
Smoking, drinking, eating cand, consuming soda, snorting salt (!) will all cause long-term health problems if done to excess. Deal with it people. Leave me alone.
