"If it weren't for people destroying their health and shortening their lives, I wouldn't be here."

Dude, if your parents had intercourse on a different day, the you that is you wouldn't be here. That is not an excuse for people to be continually destroying their health for an addiction your parents contributed to.

"They mainly enjoy the taste in their mouths."

Then they can chew sugar free gum.

"I've never had my eyes "sting" from second-hand smoke."

Lucky you. How does any of this excuse a stupid addiction that contributes to health problems for millions of people every year in the US?

There is NO legitimate purpose for smoking tobacco.
