personal freedom, big business, politics, job loss , criminal element when cigarettes become illegal just like prohibition with alcohol (al Capone). In my company there is a lot of smoke and the vapours are carciogenic scigarette smoke is nothing compared to what I breathe in every day yet I can be fired for lighting up inside the building.

because they put the cute little government warning on the side. Besides, does it really make that much difference, Tobacco is loaded with toxins and is a health hazard in its rawest form, those filtering agents are not really making a difference one way or the other.
What is your issue? trying to make smoking healthy? If you figure out how help me make the deep fried, bacon wrapped, ham stuffed, sausage with cheese topping: heart healthy

There are warning labels on Cigarettes.
People choose to buy the product.
I just hope they have saved money for the iron lung they will be on when their older.
More Government just causes more problems.

How can fast-food restaurants get away with making a breakfast sandwich with 2000 calories and 62 grams of fat in it? That will kill you too.

lol its true,its really government sanctioning the sale of poison so that they can reap the benefits of the taxes,dont forget the big money that tobacco donates to the campaigns..there was even talk about them adding nicotine to cigs. to make them more addictive,can you imagine other businesses adding something to make their product addictive or more addictive to the consumers,im betting that would be considered an illegal practice

Big business controls politics in America and the Tobacco companies are some of the biggest.

We live in a country with a free-market economy. If you don't like it, don't do it.
