> Cigarettes are even worse they really have no benefit of any kind to anyone No benefit of any kind to anyone? Jesus, the arrogance of this guy. What makes you think you can make such blanket statements about everyone's experience like this? Cigarettes are great for getting a boost of energy, or for having an excuse to talk to a stranger. And sure, both of those are things that we shouldn't need in a perfect society because we should all have enough time and calm to sleep and mental health care to get over our social anxieties. But that's not the society we live in--we live in a society where we can't be arsed to provide insulin for type 1 diabetics or school lunches for children. Giving nurses reasonable hours or high school students realistic dating advice aren't things in our society. So you'll have to excuse people for using the fucked up solutions that are available rather than the perfect solutions that aren't. I'm not even a cigarette smoker, I just have a basic sense of empathy.
