He is a reply for you - it is a stupid idea.

When I first smoked fags I had to force myself to like it - the attitude of people around me was "be a man take your tobacco!" That was the attitude of working people back in the 20th Century! Same with alcohol - first time I drank beer I cringed! So basically these 2 drugs are acquired tastes brought on by social conditioning! However in these times we are finding the government is more concerned with changing those attitudes that drinking and smoking are cool and essential parts of being adults!

However not forgetting that New Labour gave us 24 hour drinking and sowed the seeds for the Binge drinking culture!
