I personally would not mind if cigarettes disappeared off the face of the earth myself. I don't smoke, and I never intend to. I think it's a filthy habit.
I also think alcohol, as a drug, is exponentially more destructive than tobacco in many ways, and for the life of me, I can't figure out why smokes get so much worse a rap. I don't know why liquor is legal and pot isn't. I enjoy a beer myself from time to time, but I control myself. Unfortunately, many people cannot. This is probably the most confusing issue for me, and I can't figure it out. All I do know is that, even though I drink a little, I'd still rather it not be there, but that's not an option.
On abortion: There are many things about it that disgust me. I do think it's murder in many cases, murder of the most callous sort. People who use abortion for simple birth control purposes are murders, and worse, in my opinion. Of course, such cases have exceptions. It comes down to again, people need to be much more responsible. However, in cases of rape, or other unwanted sexual activity, I do not have issue with a woman wanting an abortion, for in those cases, she did not consent to sex. But I also do not think a woman has total and unfettered right to choose just because she's the vessel. There's a baby inside there that has a future life, and the militant abortionists do their best to make everyone think otherwise, that it's just a lump of messy goo. These people cheapen human life, and I hate them. I believe the same of people who bomb abortion clinics. Murder is murder.
Anyway, I hope that explains my moderate stance on the subject.
