Tobacco the govs rag doll the ban is bs?
i think the tobacco is rag doll for the gov i don’t smoke but tobacco has been around longer then the gov and they helped this gov so many times why is it i feel that pot is more legal then tobacco and why is it tobacco can not be put in most ads but alcohol is so open i am angry cause tobacco is much as apart as america as baseball or ford cars i am thinking of going to law school and then becoming a activist for tobacco so what do you think this is the reason i liked bush cause he did not try to ban stuff he did not do anything to help this groups but he did not ban anything pretty laidback guy
Dude! If you want to go to law school, learn basic punctuation. Limit run-on sentences and make a cogent argument.
To answer your question the government wants to rag on tobacco because its an easy target. The majority of people don’t smoke. So because smokers are a minority, they get scapegoated a lot. For instance, you can’t smoke in most public establishments in many states. In some states you can’t even smoke in your own apartment if its a non-smoking building.
Pretty soon you won’t be able to smoke within 60 feet of any structure or 1000 feet of a school.
In other words, they want to treat tobacco like cocaine.
Sooner or later the Supreme Court is going to have to look at these loonies and tell them enough enough. People are going to smoke. Smoking is no longer the #1 health threat they claim it was. Heart disease, even in non-smokers is. And quite frankly, heart disease is caused by all sorts of factors like genetic makeup, diet, lack of exercise, weight control, and just plain drug abuse (outside of cigarettes) whether prescription or street.
Plain English answer is that the government has to stop trying to do what it thinks is best for us, and stop treating us like 5 year olds.
Being able to make decisions about your life, your future and your vices is the American way. Somewhere along the line, the United States Government got it into its collective head that we citizens don’t know what we’re doing to ourselves.
Well just go to the food court at your local mall. You see all those kids eating greasy burgers, fries, slurping bladder busting soft drinks, and munching on fried snacks? Well there’s your heart disease in the making right there.
Go look in your average school lunch box. Parents shove all sorts of “super sized” bad for you foods in their kids lunches, or just look at the lunch room specialties. Its all consecrated in lard for God’s sake!
Fried zucchini is not health food! Its health food wrapped up in deadly grease!
