Well let’s see. For one thing you can go to jail for possessing illegal drugs, so for they won’t jail you for cigarettes. Constant use if illegal drugs such as cocaine, and cannabis, will destroy your body slowly over time, or perhaps kill you if at any point you did one too many hits, and or pills, or any illegal drug, you just never know. It could be your very first attempt at these drugs or your 10th or whatever, you just don’t know! Just watch some T.V. specials, such as Dateline, or CNN, the latest craze they keep talking about is meth or crystal(?). Have you ever seen a picture of these addicts..not pretty. Also is it worth losing everything you have, and especially your family to get “high”? Now I am not saying cigarettes are OK, it seems nicotine is the hardest drug to stop. Of course there is always lung cancer from smoking. I have no statistics just an opinion. You can go online google illegal drugs or cigarettes and I am sure they will have many statics. Either way both category’s are not good for you. Too many kids fall into the THIS IS SO COOL CATEGORY..It’s not. IT MORE COOL, to be healthy and alive.

It depends on how much you use it and I think it depends on the person.
I bet more people die from cigarettes than from cocaine. But cocaine can be dangerous because if you take it and you’re not ready for it, you can die.
But with cigarettes, they don’t have much negative effects upon your mental health, only on physical health.
Smoking is still really bad though. It really is an addiction.
