does anyone find it unethical that our government lets cigarettes stay legal while arresting people that do drugs. Correct me if I am wrong, but don't the statistics state that cigarettes kill more people every year than drinking and drug use combined? And if you don't like that prospective, what about the issue that the government will fine you or ticket you for not having a helmet on while riding your bike, or for not having your seat belt on while driving in your vehicle. Hell, they will ticket you for letting your tail light go out, but smoking, thats ok.
I don't want any one to think that I want a police state, or any variation of. In fact I wish there were less stupid laws than there are. I just very much dislike hypocrites.
I would love to hear your thoughts
