If cigarrette smoke is something that is consumed why can't the FDA outlaw it ?

Question

Just like they do with health food.

Answer 1

Oh they could but it would take allot of tax dollars to the Government and states and the People that grown it. They have already made it illegal to smoke them in public but you can buy then every few feet,including the airlines and Hospitals. Money does talk.

Answer 2

The shake down of the cigarette companies was started during the Clinton administration. Cigarette companies were not contributing to the Clinton Administration, so they found someone inside the company to work with them to bring the cigarette companies down, the cigarette companies would never have been attacked if they would have contributed money to the Clinton Administration. As for second hand smoke, there is no such thing, only the unborn child would get second hand smoke since everything the mother takes in the baby gets also. Other than that no such thing. The Democrat Politicians blew smoke up your *** with the propaganda knowing people would believe this lie! Also Jesse Jackson has done shake downs while Clinton was in the White House, one of the shake downs was Toyota, and many others Jesse Jackson has shaken down for MONEY!!

Answer 3

The FDA CAN outlaw it, they just choose not to. Tobacco lobby is pretty powerful, and smokers still vote for the FDA's bosses. So long as those two things are true, then smoking is here to stay.

Answer 4

Tobacco is not regulated by the F D A
Tobacco companies have wanted to be under their direction, because it would imunize them against law suits

Answer 5

Tobacco is used by millions of people. Outlawing it would possibly cause our economy to go bad and wrong because so many people depend on it.

Answer 6

because it is a risk that people willingly pursue i am a smoker and if they did i would go to mexico or canada and buy cigarettes besides it is a billions of dollars a year enterprise who do u think benefits the most

Answer 7

You don't actually 'consume' smoke.

You inhale, and it exhale it.

You might absorb some nicotine (along with some other deadly chemicals).

Answer 8

Tobacco industry = Big money

Answer 9

Laws are only made to ban things that don't make money for corporations.

Answer 10

WHY DO YOU WANT TO CONTROL WHAT PEOPLE DO WITH THEIR OWN BODIES. IT'S NON OF YOUR BUSINESS. IF A PERSON DECIDES TO SMOKE WHAT CONCERN IS IT OF YOURS? I DON'T SMOKE AND I DON'T CARE WHO DOES. THEY WILL BE DEAD BEFORE ME. IT'S A GAMBLE THEY TAKE. DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT SECOND HAND SMOKE. MY MOTHER AND FATHER WERE BOTH SMOKERS AND THEY SMOKED REGULARLY IN MY HOUSE WHEN I WAS A KID. I'M 40 NOW AND FIT AS A FIDDLE. NO RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS NO LUNG AILMENTS NO CANCER NO NOTHING. STOP PICKING ON SMOKERS.
