>> I'd like to know, how do you feel about the legality of cigarettes and alcohol. > I wish they were illegal. I don't see any societal benefit with cigarettes, and I don't drink alcohol so am only left to deal with its consequences. Weren't the consequences much, much worse when alcohol was illegal? That was the era when the word "gangster" was invented.
