Should cigarette's be made illegal?

Exactly.

Why is it that prohibition is a lesson so often thought, but never ever learnt?

This reminds me, it's time for a cigarette break!

Some companies are placing restrictions on smoking in the workplace now as well in the USA. Requiring that employees take drug tests to make sure they are tobacco product free as well, now isn't that a kick in the pants.

I was always so jealous of smokers when I was younger they got more breaks then I did and they always made it sound like a good reason for a break, crazy.

So you are not allowed to be a smoker in order to work somewhere?

How absurd...

I don;t think anything similar is happening here- there are smoke free work places, but i dont think you have to be tested for it.

I don't think they should be made illegal but I do think there needs to be a more concentrated and effective campaign by the government to punish cig companies who put out ads in every single magazine you come across. It's sick how cig companies make money off of people's addictions and aren't always held responsible for their part in it.

Its actually now illegal for cigarette to be promoted anywhere...even magazines. I think they are forcing them to stop the promotion in movies as well...

as well as the cigarette companies have to provide links and information about cessation and medical conditions and such.

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 assume you're only speaking for Australian law, right?

I think TRUTH commercials should be made illegal.

BF> TRUTH commercials?... And they are... ?

One of those pathetic organisations who probably mean well but put their message across in such a "Look, it's cool to not follow the crowd too" kind of way, it becomes laughable and embarassing.

I'm not saying their message is wrong, I'm just saying they're pathetically executed. Rather than saying "This is bad, stop it" they sort of try to persuade you that it's bad and not to do it. Sort of like "Do it if you want to....but *List of negatives*"

But they do so, because some people rely on the visual as opposed to common sense in order to be made aware of something.

(actually one of Tobacco exacutives mentioned something about the effectivness of visual aid - i forget the quote)
