1. Is there any proof that there are more alcohol related fatalities in countries that have a lower drinking age (like Canada or most European countries)? From what I've heard there are actually less in Europe but I've never actually seen the numbers.

2. I think don't that smoking marijuana impairs you any more than drinking alcohol does. Therefore, I don't think it makes sense to ban it based on that. It also is much less addictive than cigarettes and is the only drug that you actually need less of to get the same effects the more you use it. Legalizing it would also take it out of the hands of criminals and put it in the hands of big business which would be regualted. I think that this would reduce drug related violence. Think about it, it's much safer to go to the drug store to buy marijuana than to the street corner at 2am.

3. I just hate cigarette smoke and I know a lot of other nonsmokers feel the same way. I choose not to smoke and I hate that I can't go anywhere without breathing it in. If people want to do it then I am fine with that but they shouldn't be allowed to do it anywhere where other people who don't want to breath in the smoke could be exposed to it.

4. Raising the driving age to 18 could be a good idea. It would make it tough for all the 16 year olds that want to get a job though. But if it was shown to greatly reduce accident then I would support it.
