Should Cigarettes Be Illegal?

A ban on cigarettes should consider these points:
1.- Cigarettes pose a wide range of health risks 2.- The individual right to privacy
3.- Tobacco is essential to the economy (taxes)
4.- The tobacco lobby is one of the most powerful political forces.

Yes they should be.
If nobody smoked cigarettes right now or even knew what they were and I came to you and said “hey would you like to pay half your paycheck to smoke something that your brain will become almost instantly dependent upon preventing you from quitting without feeling like shit, that will also probably give you cancer and destroy your lungs and will make you look ugly and has no positive side effects aside from relieving the stress you’ll eventually have from going to long without smoking it?”
why the hell would you say yes?
Cigarettes are around for one reason. Money.
The industry played all you smokers like suckers. They are dealing a legal drug and you are their clients and they know you can’t just stop.
I say ban smoking and let the existing smokers buy them illegally until they die at an early age. Then we can finally have a healthier america.
