The US government could eliminate the tobacco market within a month if they simply said they would have nothing to do with regulating tobacco or issuing warnings. Let the tobacco manufacturers devise a warning sufficiently dire that it protects them from selling a product that kills consumers when it is used as designed. The lawyers would have the carcassed cleaned in a matter of weeks.

It seems ironic that a lot of the same people who want us to not smoke cigarettes want us all to smoke marijuana. They are in favor of legalizing marijuana, but severely restricting cigarettes. Anyone else see the irony???

Tobacco is so yesterday, we’re on to prescription opiates now.

If it is so bad, why not just make it illegal? The answer is the government will not as they care about tax revenue. This goes along with anything—doughnuts, soft drinks, hard drinks, gum—you name it, it is not about freedom but about government control. Witness Obamacare—the Pandora’s box that is yet to be opened.

Great they want to raise the age for buying cigarettes and lower the voting age.

Fascism, is it ever out of fashion? Build an industry dependent upon tobacco taxes and then try and destroy tobacco, insanity.

Myself, I’d really like to see a nosey, intrusive, *sshole free world, but it’s not likely ever to happen.

Do some research on the health benefits of tobacco and nicotine, you’ll be surprised.

Tobacco free - yet meanwhile there is a rush to make marijuana legal. The world gets stranger and more idiotic with every passing second.

Well if the war on tobacco goes as well as the war on drugs you smokers have nothing to worry about. :-)
