Dude, learn to quote like a normal person else all of your desperate attempts to paint smoking itself as beneficial in some way have been debunked already, even by your own links.

Nicotine doesn't involve smoking tobacco and if that's the drug that can combat Parkinsons then smoking tobacco isn't the cure. You read that clear enough?

Oh get a grip. Smoking tobacco isn't healthy full stop and you know it. Heck, I smoke and I'm not going to kid myself about it.
:doh:
Oh, so you do think that alcohol and tobacco should be illegal? Then why won't you just come right out and say it?

Prohibition was a failure then. It will be a failure always....a losing argument.

Hey, be original for once and quote and address someone's post in full without the snipping. Are you OCD or something?

what aspect of prohibition was a failure?

Numerous things:
Not only was it not the governments business to begin with, their entry into this opened up the black market...and just like today, where drugs are more potent, because the dangers are higher, we know back in that day it was the same thing....it seems no one learned a thing from it...

some other unexpected health benefits to smoking tobacco:
| Smokers are less likely to develop pre-eclampsia than non-smokers; recent research points to the impact of smoking on the ratio of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) to placental growth factor (PlGF) as one possible pathway... Epidemiological studies have consistently reported that active cigarette smoking is inversely associated with developing cancer of the endometrium (the membrane lining of the uterus) in women who have reached menopause.15-16 A recent meta-analysis found that cigarette smoking was significantly associated with a reduced risk, especially so among postmenopausal women, where a 29% reduction in risk was found Current smokers have a lower risk of developing ulcerative colitis, compared to non-smokers and ex-smokers,5 and according to the US Surgeon General, the evidence suggests that this protective relationship may be causal. https://www.tobaccoinaustralia.org.au/chapter-3-health-effects/3-28-health-benefits-of-smoking- |
and a condensed and paraphrased version for the slower children:
| Smokers are less likely to develop a disease in pregnant ladies... Cigarette smoking reduces the risk of cancer in some older ladies' "private parts"... Cigarette smokers are less apt to get upset tummies... |

was it the government's business to regulate alcohol sales to minors?
(many states lacked such laws before prohibition)
is it now?
should the government regulate sales of drugs to minors?
