I'm all about self-control when it comes to anything considered a vice or drug or whatever. i'm of the solid opinion that everyone has that inner voice telling them whether what they're doing to their body is right or wrong and knows when they've crossed the line.
i think there's plenty of people out there that experience this or dabble in that or use something in moderation their whole life without it affecting their overall health... you just don't hear about them specifically because they never stand out and they keep their vices to themselves.
The thing about smoking, though, is it's effect on other people. that fact that even a little bit of second-hand smoke can negatively effect anyone in any way, whether it's from stanky clothes/hair to serious health problems means that you're taking away other people's choice by doing it around them. this is wrong no matter what... there's no way to argue where the line is or what's too much.
so... if you're truly alone and the only one affected by your decision... yes, smoke away. but if you can't control yourself long enough to GET away from everyone else, and end up smoking anywhere near other people because of your addiction.... sorry, but you gotta stop THAT.
