On a scale of caffeine, cigarettes and alcohol...

Caffeine
Marijuana
Cigarettes
Alcohol...

Although if you are eating the stuff rather than smoking it...

Marijuana
Caffeine
Cigarettes
Alcohol

Actually cigarettes and alcohol are probably the other way around if we are just talking about their effect on the person taking them... if you manage to avoid poisoning yourself with alcohol it is just everyone else who has to put up with your idiotic behaviour.

Eh? Cigarettes kill ten times as many people as alcohol.

Personally I don't think you can measure relative drug harms on a 2D axis.

That is why I had my little disclaimer at the bottom...

If we are just talking effect on the user then Alcohol isn't nearly as bad as cigarettes but if we are talking about the user affecting other people than aside from a bad smell it is unlikely a smoker will affect you negatively*

*If you were to spend a lifetime performing in smoking clubs though then you would have to reverse it again but I can't imagine there are many people at all especially in our rich western democracies who are going to die of inhaling the cigarette smoke of other people only...

Heroin doesn't do much damage to the human body either, apart from the physical addiction and the much lower LD50. The main problems with heroin addiction is the crap the dealers cut it with, and the crimes involved in paying for the next fix.

My drug is booze, I don't touch the illegal stuff, but anyone can see the sheer wastefulness of the war on drugs.

LG I think you need to review your data.

A very strong link between smoking and SIDS. It is not like the babies are lighting up. So it's pretty clear passive smoking is the culprit.

Longer term repercussions include asthma, hay fever and other immune response misfires.

Always happy to be corrected.

We talking about pregnant women who smoke here then?

Just a quick read of wiki seems to make reference to babies in a passive smoking environment...

Admittedly babies didn't even cross my mind when I made the post so mea culpa.

"Of the 67 babies who died of SIDS in the research group, 81 per cent were exposed to cigarette smoke.

International studies have shown the babies of mothers who smoke during pregnancy have a five-fold increase in the risk of SIDS, while babies born into a home where there is a smoker have a three-fold risk."
