Why are they still selling cigarettes?!


Question: Why are they still selling cigarettes!?
if it's bad for your health and addictive the way to make people stop smoking is to ban all cigarettes not to have any cigarettes at all not by selling them for higher prices!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Because they know people are still going to smoke cigarettes even if it's banned (like marijuana) and they figure they should just continue selling it to be able to tax it and get the profits!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've got an idea, let's make the government bigger and more powerful than it already is!. Make it illegal to sell cigarettes!. Big Macs are bad for you: they cause high cholesterol and obesity!. Outlaw McDonald's!. Strong perfumes give me migraines!. Let's make it illegal to wear any kind of fragrance at all!. Some people aren't so good to their kids!. Wait! I've got it: You have to go through a training course and get a license to have kids!!! We all know that government is the solution to everything and big government is better government!. So by all means, every time somebody thinks, "There oughtta be a law" write your Congressman and we'll have him draft one!. Better living through tougher legislation!. That'll be our motto from now on!. Civil liberties, BAD!. Government intervention: GOOD!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The reason is very simple!. Unfortunately, the world is full of stupid people who want cigarettes!. It generates revenue for tobacco companies who thrive on these stupid people who also cause a lot of health problems for other people due to polluting the air with nicotine!.

If cigarettes were banned there would be an enormous outcry from all these self destructing smokers who destroy a few other people as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just to piss you off!.

Edit: Seriously, you people bitching about smokers, get a clue & a life!. For one, neither the companies nor the smokers care that you think it's "wrong!." For another, there are so many worse things going on in the world!. Why don't you get something productive done for the environment or the abused children rather than bitching about cigarettes online all day!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

The gov't doesnt care about your health, niether do tobacco lobbyists in congress!. Cigs and alcohol are legal because middle class white people use them and they are not associated with free thinking!. Also, unlike hemp, tobacco is not an industrially useful plant with the potential to run soem very big businesses into the ground!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No substance should be illegal!. If the government finally cares about the people and wants to do them good then i will pick up a flag and have a parade!. This would hurt the economy greatly, so would legalizing marijuana or any other drug!. if it werent for tobacco then the entire world would be much different!. i would never smoke, but i wanna slap those people who try to illegalize it, same for anything else!. as a human i believe we should be aloud to be higher than the sky whenever we want, and if you can afford a psychiatrist you can be with prescriptions!.
tobacco tastes good(i hear), my father smokes it, ill never tell anyone to stop because that is wrong!. why should someone stop enjoying themselves because you think its bad and you dont want to do it!? if someone doesnt want to smoke then they will try to stop, but addiction is a square wheel honey!.
look at this, so many people smoke weed, snort, inject etc illegally!. would illegalizing this be any different!? even conservatives would probably break this law!.
cigarettes arent even the most unhealthy thing around thats legal!. again, why should someone not be able to do something freely because it will kill them!. so should no one chose to fight wars(yes) but they do, or to bungee jump, the cord might snap, but they still do, thats not illegal, or even drive! alcohol is legal, but it hurts your nervous system, so they drive and kill people, or chose to fight someone and get bloodied up, maybe you should go after that freedom too! so you dont want people to be free with their nonviolent actions, even thought it will probably hurt them!? thats very disturbing to me!.

to be clear, i feel nothing should be illegal unless it will hurt other people, murder/rape/theft, like those!. never stop people from being freeWww@Answer-Health@Com

I used to smoke and quit!. Yet, this is a free country people have the complete right to smoke and I actually (even though I quit) support the right of people to smoke!.

This country regardless deserve the right to choose what people want to do for themselves!.

You may not like my answer but its the truth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have a friend that smokes cigarettes!. She get very defensive
when someone says she should quit smoking!. Most smokers
do, they keep smoking them so of course they will keep selling them!. You have very good point!. If they couldn't be bought, they would have to stop!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I understand what you mean!. I think it is horrible that they are still selling cigarettes!. I wish they would ban them too!. Why don't you go up to a store owner or someone like that and ask why they are still selling them!?!? Maybe they can give you an answer!! How about that!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

cause it would make alot of controversy and public (smoker population) outcry!. personally i think death-sticks should be removed from shelvesWww@Answer-Health@Com

I asked the same question !. its actualy because it would put
hundreds of thousands of people out of jobs!.
the people who work inb the factoriesWww@Answer-Health@Com
