[QUOTE="General Melchett, post: 1183807, member: 74895"] It's a very complex subject. Why do people feel the need to smoke or drink excessively in the first place? To take the edge off life and escape from reality for a bit in many cases I assume. The root causes will vary greatly - problems at home, relationships, lack of prospects, stress at work, mental health, following Scottish rugby etc. I guess many people just don't know when to hit the stop button. The thing that bugs me about smoking is the damage it can do passively to people who aren't even choosing to smoke e.g. children whose parents smoke in the house. There are no consequences for that. With alcohol fuelled violent crime a sound justice system should at least be able to play a part as well as domestic abuse helplines etc. Who do passive smokers call? [/QUOTE]
