Six point five million hits of credible source material from the CDC to the WHO to the lancet and so on. As much as you can eat. Knock yourself out and don't drop the tinfoil hat.
We already know its dangerous. We knew it was dangerous even when tobacco companies were paying doctors to claim it was safe. Its smoke. In your freaking lungs. Smoke in lungs. I can't even think of a metaphor that's better than that.... fire..... on genitals? maybe?**
If coughing up radial tires worth of tar and nearly dropping dead from exhausting just from walking a flight of stairs wasn't a good enough hint. we now actually have half a century of credible research data to back up what we all knew all along. Have you seen what smokers lungs look like? Do you think they are table spoon of vitamin D away from being fine?
But you know what. It doesn't matter. Smoking just like snus is down to freedom of choice. People's own bodies and what they put in them. There might be free medical care in Sweden but non-smokers can't complain about the costs of smokers because the taxes on the darn nicotine products are so high that by the time a smoker finally dies. He will have paid for his own medical care and the medical care of 2 non-smokers
Its Unhealthy. Demonstrably so but that doesn't matter. Its not immoral by any measure of the word and smokers and snus users have the right so indulge in their habit of choice. Something they should be able to do without Having to pretend themselves stupid with amateur youtube videos. Telling them its not harmful when 50+ years and billions of dollars worth of research have come to show otherwise. Few things in the entire world has been researched so thoroughly as the hazards of smoking and you think that an old Swedish guy in a bad haircut on youtube stumbled on the the miracle cure for it all that has eluded the entire scientific world and it just happened to be some vitamins?
If you try to drag the issue back to the field of health then the united research community will take you behind the barn. Roll up 50 years of extensive medical research like a newspaper and beat you senseless with their vastly superior knowledge of the subject.
Smokers rights is not something you fight for on the field of health because you will fucking lose.
The personal liberty of people who smoke and use snus is in serious fucking jeopardy in our day and the fight to defend them is not going to be won with blatant lies. When the monumental health scare comes crashing down. You do not want your personal freedoms to hang on arguments like this:

Because its a freakishly weak argument and anyone who holds on to it will go down with it when the facts are to be put on the table.
Now I do apologize for this surprisingly On-Topic rant but as a Libertarian that has spent the better part of this decade defending smokers freedom of choice I will not tolerate that you come and lie to my face. Smokers know that what they do is unhealthy. They just don't care because they don't have to answer to anyone. They work hard, pay taxes and then round the day off with a justified smoke.
