Alcohol (in anything more than a small amount) and tobacco are vices
that will continue despite illegalization; look at what happened during Prohibition in the U.S. While I agree that it should be illegal, it won't stop those who are unfortunate enough to become addicted. Illegalization and a strong anti-alcohol/anti-tobacco sentiment in society would reduce the problem. I think the best solution is to illegalize mass production of products whose sole purpose is detrimental to human health. At least then there would not be businesses making profits off of products that kill people. As for the actual usage of tobacco and alcohol at home, this should not be illegal as it cannot be enforced reasonably.

There are FDA approvals for drugs that are deemed safe and those drugs that
prove harmful are banned. On the other hand smoking products (killing millions of people as we speak) are a major contradiction. orbJan 7, 2004, 10:14pm
The FDA bans harmful drugs. What a contadiction it is to approve smoking
products which are killing millions of people as we speak. tart sugarJan 7, 2004, 11:32pm

And let us not forget about the sale of grain alcohol. That stuff is like
198 proof, and gives explicit warning on the label that over consumption can cause death. Actually, even drinking way too much water at one time can kill you, too. Breathing the outdoor air in Tokyo is not advisable, either. o_O Tart Sugar I used to be Snow White, but I drifted. [View Quote] dark thoriumJan 8, 2004, 1:35pm

Don't see why alcohol should be restricted, won't hurt you unless you drink a lot of it. Strict smoking laws would be nice, though, as smoking is very harmful and also annoying for non-smokers. No need to ban it, though. KAH tart sugarJan 8, 2004, 3:25pm

It's addictive, dangerous, a serious health risk, contradictory to our own
beliefs making us look like idiots, not good for children and the list goes on. I dare you to prove me wrong. xelagJan 8, 2004, 10:21pm

I agree with KAH. And my point is that this is applicable not only to
alcohol, but also to tobbaco or any soft drug. The government should not have the right to prohibit people from taking a substance that as an impact on theirselves ONLY. As long as you don't smoke or drink in a public area that you don't disturb anyone, it is YOUR choice if you want to die younger, and this is individual liberty. Anyway, making something illegal doesn't solve any problem : people would continue because of the "black market" (not sure it's the exact translation in english). The number of people taking it would not increase or decrease... the % doesn't depend on the severity of the government. -Weizer "kah" <kah at kahnews.cjb.net> a écrit dans le message de news: Xns946AB915A63D5kahatkahnewsdotcjbdo at 64.94.241.201... > "weyoun" <Weyoun at 127.0.0.1> wrote in news:3ffc7131 > at server1.Activeworlds.com: > > > If you can't even spell it (or anything else for that matter) right, then > you probably haven't ever tasted it either.

Smoking and drinking does not just impact the individual who chooses to
take these substances. It effects all of society. All taxpayers are footing the bill for paying for the astronomical costs of medical care for all the medical problems caused by use of these things. Your money is going towards liver transplants once they drink themselves out of a funcitioning liver, you're paying for the hospital visits for heart attacks, lung cancer when poeple voluntarily subject their vital organs to harmful substances. You're paying for the costs of court appointed counsel to defend the drunk drivers who cause accidents that kill our children, our family members. It does not just effect the indivual, it effects us all. [View Quote] |
