Well, it's like one of those rich quick schemes of the goverment. The nicotine in the cigarettes keep them addicted. Which makes them buy more. Goverment raises taxes and prices on the cigarettes to bring in more cash. And since the people are addicted, they will give up the few extra dollars. They don't care how many people it kills, just as long as they get the money. Remember, America is 3 billion dollars in deficets. (spelling) And America may be the richest country, but they only get that way by doing things like this. Even if it kills millions to thousands every year.

Yeah I recon so. I have smoked for 16 years and tried to quit with every thing there is. People say hey have you tried....yes it didn't work. Do you think that 50 or 75 years ago they knew that cigarettes were addictive or cause cancer or even that it could kill you? Probably not. How many people do you know that would by cigarettes that make someone healthy?
According to my doctor when I talked to him about it...Cigarettes are harder to kick than heroin or cocaine. My advice to anyone that doesn't smoke. Don't start. It is expensive and a very nasty habit.

Yeah - MONEY, the drug companies are catching on too...buy a ticket for the conspiracy train for this: the drug companies have a cure for cancer...but they don't want anyone to know, because they get millions everyday for cancer treatments that can keep you alive for years. So, like cigarettes, they sell sell sell, even though it eventually kills you. Lots of money made. When if the right things done - people live longer, happier maybe - NO MONEY

They make cigarettes because they make you feel good. Yes, they kill you, but as stated before, so does alcohol. Marijuana isn't deadly, yet it's illegal. As a smoker of cigarettes, it's a wonderful calming feeling when stressed out, or worried. It's a warm blanket. Yes, I may be weak, but who doesn't have their vice?

Hey Grieve,
Your question is in the wrong category! Try Disease and Conditions! That's what smoking is, an additction, a disease.
I reckon!
