I was just thinking.
would you prefer someone you cared about give up meat or smoking?

Meat. Potentially hurting oneself is a choice that one can fairly make because one likes some activity; definitely, directly hurting innocent others is a serious ethical problem. Meat eating as N. Americans do it also has serious consequences for the environment. I'm sure the world has enough self-centered people already.
My perspective is different. After watching animals suffer tremendous pain on farms, transport, and in the slaughterhouse...I'd rather have my loved ones get over their selfish desire to taste flesh rather than have the animals go through that. People can choose the consequences of smoking for themselves.
True, but each cigarette is not made of meat. Smoking doesn't have near the negative impact on animals as eating them does.
Tested?! For what? We KNOW that they kill you. WTF? That is so stupid.
