>See, this to me is the opposite of what you'd expect. Ciggerette's are harmful to ones health, but herion is not. So you'd think that smoking would be illegal before herion would be.

More to the point, IMO, is the fact that cigarettes are harmful to other peoples health. In your country alone, 10's of 1000's of people die from lung cancer & heart disease caused by passive smoking.

I have no problem with people taking any drug they want, as long as it only affects them & not anyone else in society.
