The point I was trying to make is that tobacco products have no use other than as a dangerous and deadly vice. There aren't too damn many ways to use a cigarette other than lighting one end and puffing. Alcohol can be used in moderation, enhances meals, and some varieties of alcoholic beverages can promote heart health. Fatty and or sugary foods are, after all, nutrition of some value, and also, moderation is key. Noxious fumes from vehicles weren't in the category I was referring to, sorry if I forgot to say consumable products.
As far as I know, the only other use of tobacco other than a vice is that nicotine was once used as a pesticide. It was a good one too, but dangerous to handle from what I understand.
The health/inconsideration/healthcare costs vs. personal liberties debate can and will go on for as long as there is tobacco. Hopefully within my (shortened, no doubt, by 26 years of deeply inhaling poisonous smoke) lifetime a smarter, better informed younger America will not need any legislation, or anything other than common sense to not light up a cigarette.
