If you want to start a campaign for alcohol awareness, obesity awareness, drug abuse or whatever, then please do. If you want to start threads on any or all of the above, be my guest. I expect I will fully support what you have to say. But *none* of it will in any way diminish the danger of tobacco smoke, and the only issue under discussion here is what should be done about tobacco smoking.

But as I have said in a previous post smoking cannot be dealt with in isolation from other factors because they are linked. If this is not true then why is it that smoking rates among those most disadvantaged have not declined.
