And Tobacco is a worthwhile investment, is it? Let's analyse the Bad things about Tobacco, shall we?
1. It kills you slowly.
2. It tastes disgusting.
3. It has no effects other than to counteract the effects of Nicotine Addiction (unlike Cannabis, which causes you to get Stoned...)
4. It draws money away from normal (if gullible) people, giving it to the unscrupulous bastards who market the evil stuff...
5. Many Third World countries are forced to grow tobacco by the big western corporations, as it is a cash crop. The tobacco fields could be put to a much better use, such as growing Grain so that the people in the countries can actually eat, rather than just getting a few measly pennies per field...
Now give me one good thing about tobacco. Go on, try...

We shouldn't demonize smokers.

No, we shouldn't. They are the Victims. Tobacco itself it the thing that should be demonised...

Look at alcohol, a more costly lifewise

you don't see people going, "Sue big alcohol!"

Wrong again. Many people demonise Alcohol. You never heard of Prohibition? It happened in your country, for god's sake...

No, what you see is a lot of hypocrites preaching in the bully pulpit against tobacco. Not saying you are hypocrites.
|
What I see is a load of morons who care more about earning money for big corporations than about people's health or the lives of those in third world countries. Not saying you are a moron...

Well, thank God no one brought up the 400,00 deaths from tobacco mutant statistic. That is a load of horseshit. The same is doubly so for that ever prevalent junk science known as second hand smoke.
