If you look at the stopping smoking thread you will see Mr Angry a very intelligent man but he smoked for a good long time he is neither stupid or an idiot ....
I bet there are a lot of smokers on this forum and a lot of drinkers and even reformed drug takers who still come on here and call people on drugs now. Whats that if not hypocritical?

but as already mentioned, academic levels have nothing to do with it. regardless of ones background, surely you can see that if a person is consuming a toxin purely for recreational value, it's not a very 'clever' thing to do? the body is an amazing piece of kit, and can deal with a lot of toxins, provided the dosage is not too high. this thread is talking about those who consume far higher doses than the body can handle at any one time - that's why it has such an effect.
and with all due respect to anyone who does smoke - what the hell are you thinking?? it's proven that it can kill you in such a horrific way (ask anyone who has seen someone die slowly and painfully from any kind of cancer, let alone self-induced cancer) - it even says it on the packet!
as for those who drink because they feel they need to, either to have 'a good time' or to 'relax', well you really don't need alchohol for those purposes.
but this is all my personal view, and I will not be telling anyone NOT to do something if they so wish - it's your body, you mess with it if you want to. my point it that you really do not need to take drugs (and to be fair you all know you really shouldn't take drugs) purely for recreational purposes. especially when these substances are not designed to be consumed (mephedrone being a fertilizer for example).
if anyone here says that taking drugs is a good thing (outside of medical consultation), well i'm sorry - you are deluding yourself... imo.
