So you compare "Smokes" to soup. When has soup been considered dangerous, leading to cancer by health professionals? Why is everything so severe with you if you don't use or drink it. Is this world completely yours? If so, lots of people are in trouble.

Cigarettes are also on every shelf in every store but you don't see everyone puffing away, just the crazies. Same with this soup.
Some people I was seeing for the first time tried to slip it as gravy during dinner once. Needless to say I haven't seen them since. You're dead to me if you eat this garbage.

I agree with grunhauser. Anyone who does not practice molecular gastronomy and use only the most expensive, highly sought after ingredients and follow all the trends in contemporary cooking are total neanderthals.

So do I, but not for the same reason.
Read the ingredients on a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup. Why would anyone want to ingest that list of unfamiliar chemicals? That's why this product can be equated with cigarettes.
You can sauté some mushrooms in oil, add salt and pepper, add and reduce some cream, and you've got a superior product at a similar cost, albeit with a greater time devotion. It's not about molecular gastronomy or price; it's about ingesting something that's better for you and tastes better.
But you already knew that.

I like to put a can in the toe of a sock and use it for a blackjack.

To answer your question, why would anyone use canned soups at all?
I always wonder why people buy canned soups when they are so terrible—inedible really. The salt makes my mouth hurt and my limbs swell.
Homemade soups are so easy. One can always have stock on hand in the freezer. No work at all. As Seaquam said above, just a few mushrooms, sauteed in butter or oil, flour, cream, salt pepper. A much superior product and better for you.
I use it in my "Prison Pork Chop" recipe. I love it, my girlfriend hates it! It is a great, fast dish for Ottawa winters. It sticks to your ribs (and arteries) and will give you the energy you need for skating two lengths of the Ottawa canal!
4 Stips of Bacon 4-6 Boneless Pork Chops 1 Medium Yellow Onion (minced) 2 Cans Mushroom Soup 1 C Milk
Cook the bacon in a large skillet, remove once cooked. Brown chops in bacon fat, remove. Sautee onion in residual fat. Add milk, deglaze the pan. Add mushroom soup, pork chops and chopped bacon, simmer covered for 1/2 hour or more.
Serve on a bed of Champ with a side of green peas.
