  17.  @fakereality5204  You can't force people to adopt a lifestyle.

  18.  @cgrfc1  So can tobacco, but while we're in the business of banning vice why not alcohol, videos games and sex?

  19.  @mariatheresavonhabsburg  Ok puritan.

  20.  @mariatheresavonhabsburg  People have the right to do things which cause themselves harm. Trying to police vice is a losing battle, the 20th century should have taught you that.

  21.  @mariatheresavonhabsburg  And it's working so well, lol.

  22. Ban abortions while we're at it.

  23.  @babajaga158  Most smokers are healthy. And you just justified the banning of alcohol because a few people abuse it.

  24.  @babajaga158  Smoking reduces stress. The only people who get complications from smoking are those who abuse it by smoking a pack a day. Some people only smoke occassionally, like some people only drink occassionally. You cannot punish everybody for the idiocy of a minority.

  25.  @babajaga158  You've got have at least one vice in this life, whether that be a cigar, pint of beer or a slice of cake. I wouldn't dare deny anyone the right to endulge, life is too short to be a puritan.

  26.  @babajaga158  What about people who eat too much cake? Sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind.

  29. Tobacco is good, it's only bad when it's misused as a daily stimulant.

  30. People smoke because of stress. Having suffered with stress myself, if it's not smoking it'll be alcohol or drugs.

  31.    It can damage society. Let's burn books. Let's build camps.

  32.    Tobacco is not a mind altering substance, it's a mild stimulant. Alcohol is far more damaging to the body and causes a sever state of intoxication. The argument to ban alcohol is far greater than banning smoking, and I don't even agree with banning alcohol.

  33. Yeah, I can't wait for a communist tyranny.

  34.  @NebraskaGonvilleJones  Why should people be allowed to enjoy alcohol when alcohol related deaths by driving are so high? And alcohol related illnesses (liver disease) take up hospital beds. Ban alcohol.

  35.  @JW-ef1jh  Drink driving.
