Dude, fighting in the Civil War and smoking are so TOTALLY two different things! Also, last time I checked, people died from a lot of other stuff too. It's nice to know that people have concern for others well being and I would NEVER encourage someone young to start smoking but really, lay off! It's a personal choice that I choose to make. I don't smoke indoors where a child breathes it in and can't smoke within 20 fucking feet of any public building anymore. Who the hell am I hurting other than myself? I don't go around informing people that smoking marijuana isn't exactly candy for your lungs. It's none of my business how much someone drinks or uses drugs providing it doesn't affect my life, so why should I tell them to stop? It's their choice. If someone wants to skydive, bungee jump, eat at Arby's or any other kind of extreme, crazy thing it's none of my business.
