To translate into a more specific argument: this debate operates solely within the realm of metaphysics which is completely detached from the real world material issues tied up in the social construct of personhood. This means that debate on this matter will not reveal applicable wisdom to the real world problems that the concept of personhood relates to. This then makes the reader question what is the purpose of spending time having this conversation.

Well, kinda, but the nitrosamine in tobacco is a big part of what causes cancer. That's why cannabis gets your lungs tarry which can lead to COPD and emphysema, but doesn't typically lead to cancer. It's also why vaping nicotine, while not harmless, is not as bad for your body as smoking cigarettes.

A lot of this nuance gets lost among the ads.
