The answer to your question Mr Corbin is no, tobacco should n0t be legal under any circumstances. Tobacco gets you addictive right from the start, which is just sick. If a person tries it once or twice they might do it for the rest of their lives. What if that person wasnt informed of the harms of tobacco, because all the warning says is something about causing harm to pregnant woman. Which is serious, but guys might read that and just make a stupid joke about them not being pregnant and then start smoking. Tobacco is the number 1 preventable cause of death and disease in our country. This should say something to the millions of smokers out there. I realize that many people born in the 60s and earlier did not know the risks of tobacco when they started smoking it, even my dad and mom didnt. Now the tobacco industry is making it alot harder to quit by putting very addictive materials into each cigarette. Sometimes when I'm annoyed with my parents and the amount that they smoke ill print out anything from the list of chemicals in tobacco, or the list of diseases and problems you can get from it and post them all over our house. This doesnt make my parents very happy, but atleast they know what theyre dealing with.
Now there are all kinds of act being put into place where you cannot smoke in a public place, i think this is a great idea and should be enforced everywhere. I always hated going to restuarants and smelling that nasty smoke, i think its much more enjoyable now without the smoking sections, because usually the only things dividing them were just a flimsy two inch wall, which is not effective enough for me.
So in general tobacco should be illegal, but im sure that congress isnt going to pass any act like that at this point in time, but ill be happy the day they do.
