we should not drive cars, for several reasons, they crash into things when not driven properly, they expel WAAAAAAY more noxious smoke than my cigarette does, they produce carbon monoxide, they add to noise pollution, air pollution, and water pollution, they drain the natural resources of our earth, ad nauseum. But there are very few people complaining about driving cars.

That's because there are measurable, quantifiable, and quite significant advantages to driving cars that are far more important than the disadvantages.

Can you say the same thing about tobacco usage?
