Should cigarettes be illegal?

[Zangrefia]

I've heard many reasons why cigarettes should become illegal and Marijuana legal. But let's focus on this topic and reasoning.

I think they should be illegal because it assists in the killing of popular diseases in most of the world. (Cardiac or Respiratory diseases)

I hate them, but i don't mind weed, cigs are just gross.

^ Nick; calm down with your Low quality posts.

@OP, i think they should be. But the only problem with that, is that there would be riots all over the world. No doubt; it'd be close to WWIII.

Cigs are disgusting. They were the cause of the death of my great grandmother. I hate being around anyone who smokes.

 

[Angel]

Even if we wanted to there would be an over population in jail lol...

 

[Copper]

Cigs taste like shit, never smoke one. Anything related with tobacco smells terrible too.

As Angel stated, too many people would be getting arrested since so many people are actually addicted to this. Although it all goes back into history being the reason of it being legal. Although no matter what, I think it should become illegal because of the amount of deaths it causes every year, terrible.

They should, they are much more harmfull than weed and weed is yet illegal?

I would say that they could be illegal but the prohibition wouldn't be effective at all. Just like prohibition of weed isn't working.

But, if people want to smoke tobacco let em' smoke it. It's their own life that they are hurting.

Of course not. What a stupid question, in my opinion.

 

[Ryu™]

yes they should, because if you think about in England its illegal to commit suicide, and smoking is like suicide but much much much slower, soo it should be illegal over here, ahhaha just away around it

 

[Dykerosoft]

Yes.

You can die for eating/drinking/using too much of anything, I think cigarette should be illegal because they have a high risk of death at first use.

 

[Fast Don't Lie]

Never in a million years will we ever get cigarettes to be illegal. That is too unrealistic. And if it's one thing that never worked, it's prohibition. I honestly don't know why marijuana isn't legal.

 

[Sahara]

yes they should in my opinion but they never will be :/

 

[Vanquish]

Cigarettes aren't going to be illegal, ha.
Do you know how much profit cigarette companies make? (I don't, but my teacher told me a few years ago)

 

[WetRain]

I think they should be, because of the amount of people who use them, and out of that, the number that die because of it.

 

[Pink Floyd]

Absolutely not. It's FAR too late to outlaw cigarettes worldwide. Firstly it wouldn't even be possible, the tobacco companies have way too much money to just be shut down, they'd throw a fight and negotiate. Also, it's unlikely everyone would come to that agreement.
And the reason it should not be illegal, is because too many people are addicted, and taking cigarettes away will create SUCH conflict.

Addicts gonna addict. You can't take away an addicts addiction. You just can't

same would apply to cigarettes.

 

[Barney Stinson]

I don't believe cigarettes should be illegal. I work at Rite Aid, and I don't go a day without selling a good 10 - 20 packs myself, excluding the other associates who ring up customers, cigarettes are part of the economy. Might as well keep them.

This. ^ It will be like a war.

People smoke because they want to, they're not that dumb, they know that it is unhealthy. If you don't want to smoke because you don't want to die, simple: Don't smoke and let the others do what they want.

Smoking is a pleasure but it is extremely unhealthy. I smoke tobacco every day and weed every week, but this is my "fault". Just live your life as you want to. Relax.
