with legal drugs I basically mean caffeine and nicotine.
I don't drink coffee and don't smoke. I always thought people do it as a leisure activity: people drink coffee because they enjoy how it tastes and smoke because they like to get high. A choice.
But if people have to get caffeinated continuously and smoke regularly in a shift because they need to get 5 minutes high while working… I'm not sure it's a choice anymore, but a sign that you have to change your line of work: you are giving yourself COPD, emphysema and cancer and it ain't cheap either.
I also ask if you have observed more smokers in physically blue collar jobs than in office workers.
Feedback welcomed.
