What is the WORST vice?
addicted to government handouts
but of the ones you listed tobacco probably. you can drink booze with no ill effects, same with weed
Just like the GOP effort handouts? SURE... they SHOULD make things roll..... if they WANTED too.
I strongly feel booze is the worst. Its had the POTENTIAL to create the most harm.
Cigarettes are the worst, because it's difficult not to get addicted to them. Alcohol certainly can be a major problem, but one can drink responsibly. In fact I'm finishing my glass of Merlot right now.What is the WORST vice?

It depends. Are we talking about causally doing these things or having addictions to them? Also, should we take into account the behavior of those influenced by marijuana and alcohol? It's kinda hard to judge.
Lets just do things for AMERICANS.
NOT for Reps. NOT for Dems!
Lets just help Americans. We Give money to disasters. Lets help out Americans instead! I am so tired if seeing money go to relief efforrts but America needs tham too. Call it taxes call it whatever.
Could be the booze. :dohWhat does this have to do with judging which substance is a worse vice?

Cigarettes definitely. Cigarettes are considerably more addictive than either alcohol or marijuana. They also harm others if you smoke in public. Alcohol is dangerous in large quantities, but there have been a lot of scientific studies that alcohol drunk in moderation is actually good for you. That's not true of cigarettes, there is nothing at all good about them. A single joint is worse for you than a single cigarette, but since marijuana isn't addictive like cigarettes are, people who smoke it tend to smoke far less.
So in short, of the choices you listed, cigarettes are the worst.
I would argue that the worst overall (at least in terms of the number of people it kills) is unhealthy food, which seems to be the vice of choice for most americans (myself included).
I cannot tell you how many domestic violence, criminal assaults, and murders have been committed by someone who is drunk. far more in a year than all such cases of people influenced by weed or tobacco in history I suspect
tobacco is the most harmful vice to the users. Drinking to those around the user
Many, many people are able to control how much alcohol they use though. Alcohol in moderation has been shown to have health benefits in numerous studies.
And, alcohol addiction is what causes most of the problems from alcohol. If a person is addicted to alcohol, without the alcohol (not just in recovery from it, but had they never started), it is possible that the person would have had a different addiction. Now that other addiction could be just as or less harmful, we just can't know.
