Do you think cigarettes shout be illegal?

Some people are predisposed to cancer, heart disease, etc. It's those people who are at higher risk by smoking. People don't die because they smoke. People die because they won't stop their addictive, debilitating, fatal habits. Hedonistic fools face an ironic death.

If tobaccoo should be made illegal do to the fact it has been found harmful to the human body and can eventualy lead to death then we are gonna have to make alcohol illegal. Since automobiles can cause death they are out too, alon with most house hold chemicals, hell while we are at it lets outlaw life as it eventually leads to death

that is kinda the conclusion here... We need less laws and control period... We need to be the leader of our own self and accountable for our own actions... freedom is a myth...

Everything should be legal. As long as you're not hurting anyone besides yourself, it ALL should be legal, cigs included.

If I want to ruin my life smoking cigs or doing any other drugs, I should have that choice.

This is the land of the FREE, is it not? ~

Couldn't have said it better myself.

The only problem with that is where is the line drawn on what hurts others and what doesn't? Heroin has hurt me in many ways, but I have never shot up. It has broken up families, destroyed friendships, and wastes money that could be used to better the world in other ways. But in the heat of the moment, in the instance you shoot up, its not hurting anyone, in fact, everything seems great.

This is not the land of the free, this is the land of certain liberties. Freedom will never exist completely. Not in our life time, atleast.

Cigarettes should be legal, of coarse, trying to take that away is just ridiculous.

[Its a Plant]

That's where personal choice and responsibility come into play, like NextLine mentioned above...

Having the CHOICE to either ruin your life, use in moderation, or not at all, with anything you want to indulge in being legal. ~

The biggest problem in the drug war ideology is the "make it illegal" philosophy. Large portions of society have this mentality that if something is harmfull, just make it illegal, simple as that! They make a vague, generalized concept in their head that making a substance illegal is an attack on the substance. In reality it's an attack on PEOPLE. When making something illegal, we shouldn't be considering what it's doing to this bad substance, but what it's doing to the thousands and thousands of people who will be victimized by the legal system, given jailtime and criminal records for making a health decision the government doesn't agree with.

As far as I'm concerned, the government has no business in our personal health decisions, nor does it have the right to persecute individuals for how they choose to live their lives. It's never so simple as "make it illegal". Consider every person you know who's smoked a cigarette or had a drink and think to yourself "does he/she deserve to go to jail and be deemed a criminal?"
