Vague wording
". Tobacco smoking is today by far the most popular form of smoking and is practiced by over one billion people in the majority of all human societies. Less common drugs for smoking include cannabis and opium. Some of the substances are classified as hard narcotics, like heroin, but the use of these is very limited as they are often not commercially available."
which substances, needs rewording, or just remove the last sentence, nothing of value would be lost :/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.21.133.205 (talk) 16:50, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
Reworded to make more sense: "Some substances smoked are classified as hard narcotics, like heroin, but the use of these is very limited as they are often not commercially available." --66.21.133.205 (talk) 16:53, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Note that I am not involved in this project any much more than any other editor, just posting these notes since it is quite a big change, potentially

Smoking vs. smoking tobacco
Isn't it possible to differentiate between the effects of smoking in general and smoking tobacco in particular? The article seems to mix the two a lot. For example the IQ study (101 vs. 90), was it due to the smoke or to the type of smoke (i.e. tobacco). Will people also get stupid from smoking other drugs than tobacco? —Preceding unsigned comment added by HVMC (talk • contribs) 12:30, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
