As by an athlete's view, smoking really bothers me. I have relatives that smoke, and by doing so it makes it really hard to be around them. The smell of it by my fit body just feels like a repellant.

As far as I know,(and as commercials try to convey by extremity) smoking can do some really bad things to your body. My question is, do you think smoking is worth a shorter life and possibly endangering the lives around you? What are your views about tobacco-like products in society, and although it is an addiction, people get a steady stream of money from the sales of cigarettes/the like, do you think could we afford to rid the world of it as well?
