Question

If people stop consuming alcohol and nicotine, do you think it would make the world better ?

Answer 1

No and no. Native Americans were one of the first to enjoy nicotine and it is only through abuse that it gets a bad reputation.

Answer 2

I think you'd get more people that realize just how messed up the world really is.  Murder rates would go up, wars would start over trivial things.  Nope, beer is what made people go from a nomadic lifestyle to settled.  Without that, we'd be back to stupid tribal warfare.

Answer 3

Definitely Y.E.S. for ciggarettes.

ABSOLUTELY No benefits whatsoever.

Affects Money, health, and air pollution.

but not so much for alcohol because it still serves its purpose in social settings.

Answer 4

Not particularly. People might live longer, but that's about it.

Maybe abusive drunks wouldn't be around anymore, but most of the time those people are abusive anyway.
