When it comes to things like Cheeseburgers and Fries, i agree, it is a personal choice. And eating too much of it can cause problems...But things like Cigarettes are designed to get people addicted with no other benefit at all. If I'm cautious about my diet and how much i eat, i can go to McDonalds and have a big mac combo twice a week even and still be fine. Plus, Even if the nutritional content isn't stellar, its still doing something positive to me. its sustaining me. You just have to watch how much you eat with regard to fat and sugar.

What does a Cigarette do for me that's positive? same can be said for alcohol. I know standard nicotine withdrawals aren't as bad as with other drugs, or even alcohol, but "cheeseburger" withdrawal isn't a thing. Yea, people can get addicted in the sense that they always want to have one and its all they want to eat....but Nicotine, Ethanol...Those things actually fuck with your brain chemistry to the point where if you take too much and then don't have it, your body gets fucked up. People don't start to involuntarily shake because they can't have a whopper. So i don't think its fair to compare the two.

With everything mentioned here is all about responsibility and moderation, But what benefit do cigarettes serve? Even alcohol doesn't have a benefit but you could argue that its better than cigs because if you're able to moderate it it can be fun for a good time with no major affect on your body....just like a trip to McDonalds. Difference is the Trip to McDonalds, if done responsibly, at least gives your body SOME nourishment. the other two don't, can have very serious affects on your body chemistry/organs, especially at a young age, offer absolutely no potential benefits at all, and thus, have age limits as a result.
