On the contrary, its special achievement lies in bringing about the coexistence and collaboration of peoples who have had very different histories, for a long time mutually hostile, and who, on occasion, have very different ideas on fundamental subjects such as the organisation of society, changing moral values, relations between religion and politics, the status of minority communities or races and the application of the subsidiarity principle.

In this longstanding argument, one of the difficulties faced by those who defend the freedom to smoke is how to justify the production of something intended to provide pleasure which can, in extreme cases, damage health, as can other inessential pleasures such as good eating, good wine and aromatic alcoholic beverages, to which we can add, mutatis mutandis, aesthetic activities which are neither technical nor indispensable, connected with the cult of art for art's sake, whose sole purpose is to provide human beings with pleasurable sensations sometimes at great expense.
