        Okay I think the data from most smoking studies is highly distorted living in the US I can't comment on a European study but many who are of a higher economic standing or who work in a hospital or public building are more prone to lieing if asked if they smoke. Additionally in the US if the number of packs of cigarettes bought a year were divided by 365 and then divided by the people who smoked according to the CDC then you have people smoking something like 100 packs a day.

          Whatever, suit yourself and be in denial.  The less educated and poorer you are, the more likely you are to smoke, vape, "hit a bong", "toke" etc.

            Look at how the studies are conducted not to mention that hospitals and clinics are starting to test  you for nicotine. As far as smoking and being poor no I don't beleive theres much of a connection there I believe there is a connection for drugs but not smoking. I believe a lot more of the difference is in reporting discrepancies.

                As are alcohol and caffeine. What is your point?

                  At least caffeine has therapeutic effects, an alcohol has no therapeutic effect.  It blocks anti-diuretic hormone, it causes an excess loss of B vitamins, which in turn can cause Korsakoff Syndrome.  Caffeine consumption of approximately 300 mg/day for 10 years has shown to decrease chances of having mental deteriorating diseases such as Alzheimmer's.  :cheerup: :angel2:
