That's true, but I don't think that meat eating is any excuse for smoking. Unrelated things in my opinion.

galaxy15: Yes - because, apparently, you can be asleep and drunk - but still be in 'control' of a vehicle?!

"However, meat-eaters endorsed significantly more rationalisations and distortions of logic regarding meat-eating than did non-meat-eaters or ex-meat-eaters. Meat-eaters may experience cognitive dissonance as a result of using meat despite its well-publicised ill-effects, and it may be that interventions targeting rationalisations for meat-eating will be useful in meat-eating cessation."
Here's definition of cognitive dissonance.

Maybe - the statistics of envy?

Those drunk, sleeping criminals in their cars that aren't moving are a menace to society!

Yeah, they should all be rounded up like cattle and locked up, throw away the key. Who would have the gall to do that anyways, sleep in his car, drunk, 'cause he tries to be responsible for the lives of others... Get 'em, I say, get 'em all!

emannigol: I know about risks and harms of meat eating especially in industrialized countries. Overally it might be a larger problem than smoking. However, concerning conversation about smoking it's only a red herring.
Well, perhaps you just see it as a red herring...that's fine...
But if you continue to eat meat you, admittedly are putting yourself at an 'overall larger risk'.
...and yet, I am not asking you to stop eating meat - despite what you admit.
...its been a pleasure talking emannigol + Big Thoughts (Grandepenses)
I have to go to bed.
Keep well
