I quit smokin a couple of weeks ago and i really feel alot better, but I still think smoking should be banned. What other substance that knowingly causes millions of deaths worldwide is legal? Yes i know that the government makes so much money from it at our expense so it will never happen.

Actually, smokers doesn't cost taxpayers anything. It's the other way around. Smokers contribute more to the tax-system than what they cost. I agree that smoking is not healthy, but we should get our facts straight. And btw, cars are more unhealthy to the non-smoker than a smoker is. So why not ban cars instead?

My own proposal is to have a federal tax on tobacco that would triple the cost of a pack. If you can't afford it, sorry dude.

Have you ever been with someone whos just quit smoking.. now times that by millions... bad idea! At least my way, people have the choice either to not register or quit in their own time, meanwhile, the younger generation don't have the option to start.
