I am absolutely against prohibition, and the demonology of smokers. It's neoprohibition run wild. That said:

As a physician there is NO DOUBT that smoking is extremely harmful. It ABSOLUTELY results in more heart disease, more lung cancer, more throat cancer, almost all cases of emphysema, peripheral vascular disease, increased incidence of bronchitis, increased incidence of sinusitis. Smoke if you want to, but don't kid yourself into thinking it's harmless. You may be lucky and live to a vigorours 90, but you sure aren't playing the odds if you smoke.

Listen, you might THINK we are a bunch of boobs, but we KNOW the health hazards! How about alcoholism? How about obesity? Does your Journal tell you the health hazards about this? You know, life is terminal. No one gets out of here alive.
