Lets try to keep this ideologically based. I did not edit anything, I simply added another sentence. Stop throwing punches mate. Alright, denser than I previously thought. They're not MY standards (although I do abide by them), they are the standards of Critical Reasoning across the planet. In case you don't really believe me: Non Causa Pro Causa Here comes the clue train, last stop: YOU! Wooo, wooo! I'll address your "argument" for pity's sake, though. Your first "argument" was not that same as the one I am about to address. My argument was not saying that people need to try cigarettes before they can judge whether or not they are unhealthy for you. What I was trying to point out is that children that come out of their health classes with a preconceived notion about what cigarettes are/will do to you are the ones that post strongly in this thread claiming cigarettes are the worst thing known to man instead of what they really are: a way to relieve stress and anxiety. There are plenty of things in the world that people consume on a daily basis that contribute to mass death (such as large quantities of food), but health teachers pound it into kids' heads that cigarettes are the worst thing you could do. I never claimed what your argument was challenging.
