Something I never understood. Both are technically drugs. Both are typically allowed at meetings, we'll you have to go outside usually to smoke.

Coffee offers a lot of benefits for health with almost no bad side effect. If you put it on the same level as tobacco you're making a mistake.
Sugar is a much harder drug than coffee, alcoholism has much worse side effects than tabagism. |

Although, to be honest, I've often wondered how caffeine has become so integrated into our society that it is an acceptable stimulant. Maybe it is because of the reasonably mild effect on our bodies, but I know plenty of people that are addicted to caffeine, be it habitually and/or physically.
It's hard to see tobacco being in the same realm as coffee, although I think they are similarly used throughout society. |

Short answer though, these are socially acceptable drugs.
Pot is less socially acceptable, but IMO less harmful than tobacco. This could be argued to no end, but I'm not getting into THAT conversation again.
