Worse than smoking but it is preferred

per President Aristotle

Satinover here offers more evidence for what I would take to be a key part of an Aristotelian critique of...X... conduct (at least among men): it is contrary to natural law, and it places those who practice it at severe medical risk. To put it differently, the medical risk involved in ...X... conduct is vastly greater than that involved with cigarette smoking. Yet no one would accuse those who try to end smoking of being bigoted or prejudiced against smokers.

I put the X's in go see what it is here.
