I wonder if tobacco would fall out of use if
smoking is eliminated and there isn't anything
else really satisfactory to do with it unless
you're addicted.  Taken orally, hideous diseases
are risked.  Some people commend smoking for
weight loss.

But then my paternal grandfather died of lung cancer when I was 14
(which I'm told is the usual age future smokers either start or think
about starting to smoke) which was kind of a deterrent for me.
 Every morning, my parents would wander into the kitchen, cough for a
while, advise me not to smoke, then smoke a pack of Export A cigarettes.
I found it a compelling argument against smoking.
 Oddly, neither one died of cancer as far as we know. All of my
mother's siblings did, though.
 (That said, having almost died from severe asthma + London smog would
have left me averse to anything that could interfere with breathing)
Oh, there's lots of smoking-related deadly
diseases.  :-(
