Smoking also has a few health benefits, believe it or not. Reduced rate of Parkinson's disease, and a few others. But those facts don't fit the narrative.
Well....come on, Jack, those few health benefits are outweighed the larger health issues it causes. Lol. No one can argue everyone should start smoking.
“There are two potential ways to view this association. The first is that smoking has a biological effect that protects a person from PD. The second is that part of the biology of PD makes it less likely that a person would smoke.“
Trying to smoke while shaking....seems difficult.
However, kudos.....I would never have thought there were benefits. Thanks.
Playing sports incurs health risks too, including paralysis, and death. Driving your car incurs all sorts of health hazards.
But "the experts" have a measuring stick they use to decide which individual activities are acceptable or should be outlawed, for the "good of society.
Collectivist tampering with individual liberties regarding health decisions is a slippery slope best avoided. Because those who lust for power, and control over others will always exploit such powers at the expense of individual liberty. And there is no limit to the depths of their ambitions. See: Forced gene drugs pumped into kids, banishment from public establishments, and NY City "fat taxes" to see the were collectivist heath mandates are headed.
