Cigarettes Should Be Made Illegal / Anti-Smoking Video PSA

I mean if you want to talk about drugs that should be illegal, lets talk about alcohol, horrible drug and even worse, unlike tobacco, it's glorified by the popular media (MTV).

But wait, they tried that, and what it led to is people making there own (often times not properly which led to poisoning) and killed each other over it.

Alcohol became more dangerous because it was illegal.

But since it's legal again, the government can regulate it

If tobacco became illegal, same thing would happen.

Kajayacht, the people who wind up paying for the smokers who have lung cancer are usually OTHER people, who indirectly pay for the lung cancer patients through increased premiums, taxes, etc. So, it makes a difference what people put in their mouths, because it affects a lot of people.

Well, seeing how America's health care system is privatized (could change in the near future if people vote based solely on their opinion of the current guy in office), the individual or the health insurance companies.

But you fail to talk about anything what I've said, and I'll say it again:

When Fascism comes to America, it'll come in a white coat with a stethoscope.

Kajayacht, and who is it that winds up paying for the health care of people with lung cancer?

Hi Kingo..Have a smoke then...or don't. And don't forget to let us all know, cos we're just bustin a git to find out the conclusion of your dilemma. Don't forget that if it's made illegal your taxes will increase.

What's next? are they going to tell us what we can't eat because America's becoming obese?

Sounds crazy I know... oh wait a minute, dumbshit Democrats in Chicago have banned For Gross (French word so spelling's most likely wrong) from being served in restaurants for that very same reason.

I've never smoked a cigarette (well I did take one puff once for a video on here), I've never eaten For Gross. I don't want to do either, and I hate smoke

I disagree. The government shouldn't be telling people what not to do to their bodies so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else (and before you say it, second-hand smoke is complete bullshit, the study they use to justify it shows that 10 in 100,000 people develop lung cancer without exposer to 2nd hand smoke and 12.5 out of 100,000 do with exposer, that's the 25% more likely they're talking about 2.5 people)

Porcelina1334, and when people like yourself get sick from drug abuse, the first thing you want is someone from the government to take care of you.

The American natives used tobacco as a means of talking to the Great Spirit. It wasn't used as a commercial substance until the arrival of European explorers, such as Sir Walter Raleigh.

The state can't tell me what I can and can't put into my body.

Very informative.....but damn that's an old ass video....lol

i just started smoking last saturday march 22nd 2008 i haven't smoked 1 cigarette since yesterday i haven't smoked today (saturday) but i want to so bad !!!!

you know the thing about tobacco too is how processed it is the reason they do that is to make the naturally harsh tobacco leaf smoother and easier to take in. Thats not good cause in natural cercumstances you would more than likly be disgusted by it the only thing I have found to be naturally smooth is I hate to say for feeling like im gonna offend is marijuana. chemically induced objects always end up hurting you in the end.

I know but i feel strongly on that issue sorry but no limits on speech as well. by the way your everywhere on you tube now I cant get away from you.

rosekiller123, the video is on cigarettes -- not marijuana.
