Everyone has taken it upon themselves to be a hero and pass legislation etc. to ban smoking in public area's etc. If indeed they really wanted to do away with it, why don't they just get to the root of the problem and make it illegal? Forbid the growing of it.....forbig the selling of it....and shut down the tabacco companies! I am sure without the taxes they collect from the big cigarette companies they surely would have to collect them someplace esle like income or property taxes. What's your opinion?

It will shock you how much a country profits from the export duties and taxes on tobbacco and cigerates , so wilkl they even think of banning cigerate factories or the growth of tobbacco the answer is no , mmy dear they wont.

I think you are right and it gives congressmen the right to pat themselves on the back when they vote for the bans....thanks for replying!

smoking is actually started by everyone just for fun and gradually it becomes a habit and finally it becomes a necessary evil for the guys.......
