Should cigarette's be made illegal?

I didn´t know there was a restriction age for it, but for what purpose.... one must be responsible enough to decide to drug himself.

It will never be made illegal, and I think its a good thing, theres too much money involved, and if it is made illegal, it will still be sold by illegal ways.

Nicotine is the exact opposite of a drug

Someone does not know what a drug is (Hint: It's you).

Cigarettes, unlike Marijuana, cocain, heroin, etc, does not drug you, or alter your state of consciousness. Nicotine is the exact opposite of a drug, it does not impair your brain's sober ability, but enhances it. When a person is taking drugs, he/she cannot perform professionally. Cigarettes don't do that.

yes they do. if i'm deprived of nicotine i go apeshit. no way am i useful in the workplace without it. thats addiction. the only thing it would 'enhance' is irrationalilt, anxiety, and rage.

Capt. Fantastic struck the bullseye a page or 2 back. The income gained by the taxes on tobacco (and alcohol as well) outbalance all negative effects of these products financially, at least in the view of the governments who collect these taxes.
The use of alcohol and tobacco has been accepted for centuries, it only became a matter of discussion as we have relatively recently discovered that they are a menace to our health.
And for the tax-collectors, I believe they would be happy to legalise cocaine, heroine and all that just to make money out of controlled trading if it wasn't for the disrespect and fear the common public has towards those drugs.

I smoke too, homes. If it was made illegal, I'd probably be a moonshiner or a bootlegger of tobacco.

No doubt that cigaretts are bad for your health. So is pot.
Cig's are bad for your body, pot is bad for your brain.
It would be a good thing to get rid of them both, but that will never happen. Cigarettes harm you in the long run, pot is much quicker.
I would freak if I was just about to go under for sugery and noticed the surgen was high on pot. But if he was a cigarette smoker I wouldn't feel a cigaratte would make my surgery more risky.

If you ban smoking.

Then ban alchohol, it creates violence, kills people, starts liver cancer and other diseases.
Ban cars. It kills people all the time. It endangers other people without thier consent either. It cost money to fix roads, and it cause major pollution that endangers everbody in this world. It also causes wars in Iraq ( or not whatever why your thinking).
Ban anything that might cost the gov't money to fix, or bad for the body.

I do agree banning smoking in public places and anywhere aside from the person's house or outside ( im sorry but you cant really get second hand smoke from somebody walking by you with a "butt" in thier hand), but an all out ban, wont ever happen.

I say we should make stray apostrophes illegal.

I say no. But, there should be certain areas where you can only smoke. Also, if you're about to smoke you should always ask anyone around you, if there is anyone around you, if it will bother them.

Well, A lot of people seem to get off on bashing pot cause it is illegal and ''harmful''- 😆

So, Let's talk about the number 1 killer in my country- Cigarette's

They cause cancer, Take up rooms in the hospital, and generally are the worst thing besides Heroin,that anyone can be addicted too 😕 Not to mention all the other negative things about it.

Marijuana does not do any of that, So if the Government are so up there ass about not making pot legal, (which is funny, how a ''plant'' can even BE illegal'' How do the Government explain, Why they have not made Cigarette's illegal. 😕

I don't think it should.

I am a smoker. I'm actually trying to quit, but it's stupid to have something like that illegal.

What's next? Make Alcohol illegal?

Does anyone chew tobacco?
