There are a lot of things that are bad for us that are not against the law to purchase. This is America, you can get anything for a price. |

Peach was right. Not only is money made by the sellers, but hospitals, docters, pharmacies, extended care and nursing homes, and others collect their share early, and they never have to pay you retirement benefits. |

I smoke and it is by choice. No goverment is going to tell me i may not smoke. It is my democratic right. Remember we are a dying breed so they have to be nice to us |

in america people are given the choice to buy or not to buy cigarettes. the companies like r.j. reynolds and philip morris do not give cigarettes to anyone, they are purchased by responsible adults who enjoy smoking no matter what the consequences. |
|

alcohol is bad to its bad over time and they are making money why would they take it off the market? |

it's a choice whether or not to wake up and buy that first pack or carton of cigs in the morning, the government makes tons of money off of cigarettes by taxing them... If they were to remove that income they would be in dire straights they use that money to operate our society. And the tobbaco companies help to give financial support to our law enforcement, and politicians capaigns... It's a CASH COW! |

It's a free world, it's up to us to make choices. You wouldn't sit and just eat a bag of chips all the time just cuz it's there, would you? |
