Why is alcohol legal? That is not just bad for you, but is a mind altering substance. Didn't you learn about prohibition in school?
Anyway, on the same note, why is fast food legal?
I could go on forever.

When Prohibition ended the tobacco and alcohol lobby had more money than M.A.D.D.

I ask myself that all the time. The only answer I can think of is tax revenue. Why out-law something that makes the government money? Crooked American politics.

because people are stupid and stubborn when ppl tell them that smoking can kill them they just blow it off and go back to their nasty habbit! oh to answer your question. the same way abortion and gay marriges are still legal! broken promises! and it has become a common thing to where it would be too hard to stop i guess. im only 13 and have seen what smoking would do to ppl. you have to be a complete idiot to think that killing your lungs is cool. God bless!

It is very addictive, the more buyers the more money the government makes in tax.
