If I were crafting drug policy I'd track consumption and intervene in the lives of problem users. A person smoking enough to hurt their lungs is an extremely heavy user and there might be something wrong. Do they not care if they live or die? Are they self medicating to escape some kind of trauma? Are they just ignorant of the dangers?
