What's wrong with the comparison?

Both are highly increasing the chance of cancer. It's about the result not about what contains more harmful ingredients.

Also gotta love how you ignored my comparison to Sugar. Why is sugar legal? It's anything but healthy.

Lol my best friend is a chain smoker. I try everything with the best of my abilities to make him stop. But he isn't listening.

-_- I feel like this thread is 1 thing poorly disguised as another. As for your original question. Because We live in a capitalist society where money pushes the needle. So if you spend enough and line enough pockets you can see the laws you want enacted, like smoking being legal.

The difference here is that both sugar and meat are substances that are very well useful for your body. You need sugar to function and meat has been a part of the human diet for millennia. That it increases the risk of getting cancer is very relative as these days everything increases that risk. There are many factors involved in someone becoming more susceptible of getting cancer than just eating meat or sugar.

Smoking on the other hand has no benefits whatsoever. It serves no purpose. The only thing it does is making your body addicted to a substance it didn't particularly need in the first place.

And the reason why it isn't forbidden, well it probably has seeped too deep into our culture for that. Instantly banning it would be like forcefully pulling out an arrow: it will do more harm than good. They tried that with alcohol once in America, didn't really work out, now did it?

So instead many countries adopt a long-term strategy. Bit by bit they try to marginalize it so that either at one point they can remove it completely without causing too much of a fuss or that it has become so uncommon there's not even any reason anymore to ban it.

Why the fk is a drug legal? it's such a disgsuting habit not only harms ones self but also the environment around them.

I wonder WHY IS IT LEGAL????????????????
This is your problem, stop worrying about someone else. And stop judging someone for smoking, it's nothing brand new. You act like you were just born, sometimes.

It's a little too late, and a little too useless to complain about why people smoke. It's pretty much none of your business...whether you wish to use "pollution" as your excuse or not. Get over it, it helps these sore losers keep their head straight...even IF it's just psychological.Hell, *** is psychological too.

Life, people, and the economy are incredibly dysfunctional, people are driven to madness if they don't have some sort of "escape" that doesn't directly harm another. Let em be.

get over it, the world doesn't revolve around you and what you don't want.

I thought that was obvious?Each and every last one of them don't know what's in it when they first start smoking it. Did he take the time to inform you on what's in it?No, he didn't...you just assumed he knew, just because he worked for the factory that makes them. That's a self-entitled genius for ya.

you reading my mind? ... No, but i will.
That's what they all say...

Because it got a strong foothold in the country early(way back when natives were common) on and doesn't seem to make its users seem... lost? or impair them during use.
I get that tobacco is pretty big, but I've always wondered why alcohol is still a thing. I can't tell you how many arguments, fights, breakups, awful choices, and deaths have been fueled out of the shit. Not even mentioning that the shit can even affect your children harshly.
