You'll find that alcohol is a lot like cigarettes. Cigarettes used to be everywhere, even doctors would prescribe cigarettes to their patients. Then people started slowly waking up to the idea that nicotine is a highly addictive and toxic substance. People started looking at cigarettes differently, they stopped putting cigs in movies, and people stopped glamorizing cigarettes in the media. Now we have big warnings on all cigarettes saying how bad they are for you. In some circles it is even uncool to smoke cigs.
- samatman 8y agoAddictive, certainly. Toxic at normal doses? Evidence says no. Carbon monoxide, tar, and tiny soot particles are very bad for you. Nicotine? Not so much. Addiction is annoying as hell and I don’t recommend it. But let’s be accurate.
