SHOULD CIGARETTES BE BANNED FROM SOCIETY????

It isn't banned because millions of us smokers are hooked and we'll kill you if you try to take them away

I think people should be free to make choices. I choose to smoke now and then. And drink. But I also choose to work with poor kids, eat healthy, exercise a lot, and treat others kindly. If government tells us everything we can and can't do, then we can't take credit for the good decisions we make.

If the person is of legal age, it is their choice @Myselffati . Just like eating certain foods that are destructive. Most of the foods we eat today are filled with steroids, hormones, chemicals, pesticides and antibiotics. Why don't governments do something about that.

Banning something makes it more appealing. I find it hard to believe 70% of the young smoke. I think the number is lower than that.

No point of banning, cause it will still go on like this. And government don't want much of the activities to go on with the black cash! That's why it ain't banned yet! The awareness is all around, it is still their so called "choice" to go for it! And its not that in today's generation youths are smoking, it started earlier! Just a bad practice continuing.

has been banned indoors ,i'm in Beijing

Im a smoker. Right now the smokes i do are not available. I buy all that i find. I cant without smoking. So its best to never start smoking.

A very good initiative...my lot is such a place where we can make people aware of things which are harmful to them. Smoking is a bad habit,its affects your health...your immune system..damages your lungs and finally your family suffers. So, one must eat and drink healthy because i know everyone here love their life!
