I'm quite worried.  I think I need a drink.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

If cigarettes were "invented" today, they should still be legal with proper
regulation, just as they are in the current situation.

Just because something can be harmful, doesn't mean it is in all
circumstances.  And just because something can be harmful doesn't mean it
should be illegal.
