Sorry to belabor the obvious; cigarettes do no harm, "ruin anything", unless you are dumb and light one. It is unfortunate that 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness' is so easily divided from good, beyond common, sense.
(I tried to use parallel sentence construction to make obvious the parallel, analogous, argument.)
Either we are equal or we are not. Good people ought to be armed where they will, with wits and guns and the truth.
