because its a viable market in which the tobacco growers, and the peoople whom roll the cigarettes can make a buck. The big buisnesspeople KNOW that there is a steady supply of smokers, and that means $$$ in their shareholders & their pockets.

They haven't found a better way to market the tobacco which supports some parts of the country, and without which those areas would be without any natural resources to keep their factories going.

Because even the law makers are still smoking. So it is to their benefit. But it is upto an individuals choice whether to smoke or not.
