It's just as likely that we may figure out the secret that there's a way to grow tobacco or add a chemical to cigarettes that prevents tar from binding to the lungs, and/or create a treatment for lung cancer. Anything is possible with science.

That's exactly why I do it. Life should be enjoyable.

The decision to smoke does not equate a political and/or constructual viewpoint on life. You're telling us that someone might be the most amazing person you ever met, can make you laugh, think, keep you riveted for hours and make you feel more at peace than anyone ever has before - but if she smokes a little cigarette once in a while, then it's all over? There are some things in life that are simply more important than others.
