That's a pretty weak assumption. I still smoke cigars, though not often.

Rather weak fallacy. You might as well flip a coin. Why? Because of something called inebriation. Ever looked up inebriation in the thesaurus? Stupefaction appears right next to it. In other words, you've had so much alcohol that you've become quite stupid. What kind of decisions can one make when stupid? Bad decisions. What I'm saying is that it's nothing more than blind luck that you don't have another.

I'll tell you what, show me a hamburger that has chemicals that are as physically addictive as nicotine and I'll support a ban on it.

Would you also defend someone's right to use heroine? Because cigarettes are actually more dangerous than heroine (aside from cutting and dirty needles).
