Dammit, nobody says you did. Yet others do such things when drunk, quite often.
Of course drinking in moderation (read: occasionally) isn't dangerous. The problem is that most people can't control themselves and drink too much, too regularly. And from that point it only takes a small step...
It's also pointless to argue what's worse. It's beginning to sound like: Cancer is better than AIDS because it's not contagious, right? Then horray for cancer, yay!

Want to make a chick quit smoking?
Many people even today make fun of cancer. I've heard young adults saying "time to feed the cancer" (as if it was that crab) when they go for a smoke. Not every smoker dies of lung cancer, right?
But what's guaranteed is that nicotine & other toxins in cigarettes break down collagen and elastin. Your chick knows those names by heart. That stuff is added to cosmetics. Because those things are in our skin, making it elastic. That's why woman's skin is nicely bouncy (not only in those places). We will all age anyway, but women are obsessed to slow down that process. Tell them they are accelerating it by smoking. Smoking = more wrinkles! Oh, and it's time to go to a dentist to whiten those yellowing smoker's teeth!

CP3S, I've seen mothers pushing strollers while smoking... most people are jerks.
