Morality and smoking
Source: Ludwig von Mises Institute
Author: Tibor R. Machan
Country: United States

"The gist of what I will defend is this: Adult human beings are not bound by any categorical imperative to refrain from smoking despite the evident health hazards of the practice because health, though vital, is by no means most important in human living. Flourishing as a human individual is most important." (05/00)
