*cough* Drinking alcohol is a primitive habit. It should be banned.
Having sex is a primitive habit. There are alternatives. It should be banned. The family unit is a primitive habit. It should be banned. (go commune!) Just because something is 'a primitive habit' doesn't mean it should be banned. Just because something is 'bad' for you, it shouldn't be banned (eg, drinking, playing sports, skydiving, bungee jumping, off-roading, exercising...etc etc etc). Why ban it? What good would it do? Isn't it a person's right to do to themselves what they want? _________________ They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. |

Satis, im saying if something is BOTH a primitive habit and bad for you, it should be banned. I dont think sex is bad for you, drinking yes it is, but we are not ready to ban that yet I didnt say at all ban EVERYTHING bad and Primitive.

but why pick on smoking? There are studies that sex is bad for you. Sex may encourage rape. Sex is bad for the colon. Sex can cause heart attacks (happens all the time). Etc etc. Of course I don't want to ban sex, but it is primitive, it is 'dangerous', and there are alternatives for procreation.
Anyway, my point being that the only real reason to ban smoking is a political or social more. It doesn't cause violence, but if it were banned it may. Do you honestly think banning cigarettes will make them go away? No, it'll just encourage an underground cigarette trade akin to the current drug trade, or the alcohol trade during american prohibition. Making it illegal doesn't work. In fact, it makes it a thrill of sorts, and making it illicit may actually encourage more people to smoke. _________________ They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. |

 What, you put your elbow down there or something? I guess leaning on the colon during sex would be bad.  _________________ They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. |
