        “Not the end of the world” is different from “probably very unhealthy.”

        I do agree that if you are well informed about the effects of these vices and are willing to make the trade-off, then by all means you’re free to choose to indulge.

          My issue is that the scientific community doesn’t do a good job explaining the tradeoff. Those who follow are so health conscious that they unknowingly trade away social life memories for a dreaded hangover, or the end of life experiences of lung cancer or heart stroke to alzheimer or euthanasia from loneliness.
