I would be willing to bet that not many can thrive on daily use for many years without having it impact their health and performance.

The folks I know who use tend to be recreational smokers; weekends, parties and special events. I don't think its healthy to overindulge any substance.

And your point about surgeons and pilots is well-taken; they have no business smoking. I doubt the type of personality required for success in such fields lends itself to sitting in a corner listening to Pink Floyd on the earphones anyway.

But that is no reason to deny other adults the choice, IMO.

BTW, it is drunk drivers who scare me. Dopers drive like the little old lady from Pasadena.
