I know a lot of people who go on and on about how cigarettes are bad for you and whatnot. Yet they don't think twice about getting drunk all the time. Here's an interesting study by the Lancet in which they ranked drugs on riskiness to society.
As you can see, tobacco ranked 9th which is higher than many illegal drugs such as marijuana (11th) and LSD (14th). However, alcohol ranked as the 5th riskiest drug in society only being beaten by heroin, cocaine, barbiturates, and street methadone. Seems to me that some should get their stories straight before criticizing some drug users, when their drug of choice is deemed more dangerous to society than the ones they're criticizing by researchers.
