Cigarettes are a legal product. If our government thinks the product is killing people or causing huge health care costs, why is the product still being sold? Could it be that the product is not banned because of the hugh amounts of taxes collected? A toy painted with paint containing lead makes national news.
Millions of cigarettes sold every day. Continue collecting taxes on them.
Always follow the money.


this is what I want to know????

How about pics of drowned kids on swimming pool ads.

How about pics of broken ankles on jogging shoes.

How about pics of skinned knees on bicycles.

How about pics of back problems on golf clubs.

How about pics of fat people gasping for air on hamburgers.

We need "lost eyes" on some packages.
I'm sure almost everyone grew up with "Don't do that. Someone could lose an eye."

We don't take tobacco off the market because the Prohibition years of 1920-1933 taught us that prohibiting the use of alcohol didn't work. It just created an underground crime ring to supply it. The same would happen if they tried to outlaw the use of tobacco. Instead, the long term campaign is to tax tobacco heavily and try to make it less and less socially acceptable until the number of smokers decreases substantially. And it's working.
