Opinion, anecdotal, researched, or "I read it on the internet so it must be true"? By reducing and eliminating smoking you don't mention the number of smoke induced medical cases being treated would be reduced to essentially zero; families would not be unnecessarily losing loved ones early and having the traumatic experiences; those smoking tax payers would not become drains on the social purse through being unable to work and taking a dole; fewer butts would be on the ground since many if not most smokers have no more consideration for the environment than dog walkers who don't pick up (unscientific personal observation); reduced 2nd hand lung cancer; fewer fires from smoking in bed; etc, -- and the prospect of freeing beds for the queues of people not having self induced medical problems. Tobacco is perhaps the only life threatening and addictive product, that is sanctioned by governments in the name of almighty taxes.
