What happened to your prevous thought that smoking shouldn't be used as a comparison ... as you stated in your earlier post - I thought you didn't think it had any place in this type of discussion: or is it only smoking when it's referred to hash/weed/bit of skunk.

You have made this same absurd point and I have responded to it. Tobacco could kill you eventually. Cannabis will not.

I was clearly talking about Cannabis in the post you alluded to because I was responding to a post about Cannabis. Mentioning Cannabis in my post.

It doesn't matter if tobacco takes a few decades to kill you. It's still an addiction and it's still an addiction that kills. I took relativity into account in my posts. Crack could kill you within a few weeks with a heavy addiction. Tobacco could kill you within a few years with a heavy addiction.

I never once said tobacco was worse than crack. I always said it was a simple comparison to get tobacco smokers to understand and that relativity should be taken into account. Please read.

The choice leads to the act.

As did I. As did you. Not relevant.

But she didn't make those choices. She could have. But she was a drug addict.
