When smoking is injurious to health why is it not banned?

First it is big money for some people :D Second some people wish to smoke, and because it was allowed once, they can't completely get rid of it I think And third, because they do not have they right to do it, in my opinion.. Have a nice day..

As the poster above me said, the main reason that smoking is not banned is because of the high revenue it brings in to the government. I live in the UK, which is purportedly still a free country; if our government was to try to ban smoking (especially now, our PM is not the most popular guy around!), there would be uproar. People have the right to choose whether they want to smoke or not. Smokers have already been forced out of buildings and made to smoke outside, there really isn't much more that can be done without becoming a dictatorship.

because it hauls in a lot of money in terms of taxes, and we need those taxes so that officials can have funds to corrupt.. err.. i mean, use for public service

if its ban den its good but i dun think its possible but dey hv resticted smoking to many ofices jobs area dat wat its good der shuld be more of such restrictions dey can do wat
