[quote=GUEST12246,270716]If smoking was  newly discovered today, I believe it would be immediately banded under the same regulations as all other drugs, and therefore illegal with harsh penalties.

Why ? Because it would be thoroughly tested and they would find (what they have already found) which is that they contain thousands of poisonous chemicals, is ADDICTIVE through the nicotine and can lead to cancer and many other diseases.

Well, maybe I should make a new snack that tastes disgusting, makes everyone around the eater feel sick, is totally unhealthy (i'd put a big warning label on it to say it causes cancer and death of course) but as long as i shove some nicotine in it, i'll get a very loyal customer base. what do you think? oh yea, the government would make it illegal because the nicotine is bad, and i'm not legally allowed to make an addictive product ....

The sad fact of the matter is, the governments make so much from tax on these things, that they ONLY ban them in public places. its their way of saying, "well, ok, we'll protect the public interest in some ways, but, well, we're not going to ban them because we'll have a severe deficit in our budget otherwise"

so question that we should really be asking is :

why can we not TOTALLY BAN something that would be illegal if discovered today ?[/quote]
