Indeed it is, until lung cancer arrives. Or emphysema.
But there the parallel ends cause in the elections case we'll all bear the brunt if your coalition wins. God please help us, we were about to crawl out of a hole to start beating a path in the bushes towards economic sustainability, do not let us fall back in.
I know of doctors, infact oncologists who smoke and they know the link between carcinogens and tumourigenesis. So that comparison by @quicksand is flawed. Adults have to make a choice as long as their choice does not cause harm to others. Choosing to vote Uhuru does not cause harm/injury to say PK or Raila supporter. That is the price of democracy. Chinese sat down and thought about the whole process of democratically electing their leaders and adopted their system and it works fine for them.
