re: "That Cloud of Smoke Is Not a Mirage" (The New York Times, January 12, 2022)
Alcohol is also harmful to its users. Its users know that, but continue to drink. Like smokers and other drug users, they perceive benefits, such as pleasure and socializing, in such activities. Have humans ever not enjoyed harmful rituals together?
There is more to life than always doing what is most healthy or most productive for an economy or most socially approved or whatever.
