marijuanna must be banned.so that poor people wont damage their minds.

I thik it should be legal. One must choose to smoke or not. More people die every year from cardiac attack they got from overwaight, should we ban food?! Do I need to say about car accidents, should we ban driving?

I think smoking should be leagal, as long as you are over the age of 80 and have signed concent from both parents.

Also the smokers who are addicted can't stop suddenly, because the government forbid it. And all the company's which sells the "crap" will all lose insame amounts of money. So there's less chance any country would forbid cigarettes.

you forgot the HUGE amount of tax that the govt gets in from these companies, and so... yes it won't ever be forbidden.

haha that's genius...

I voted no, somply because nothing is really being done to help people addicted to smoking and already so many new laws are being passed to make their lives even more miserable for something many of them really no longer have a choice in.

Should smoking be illegal? No. Why? i believe everyone has the right to fuck up their bodies as they see fit (wether its with drugs, alcohol or tobbacco) as long as them doing any of those doesn't endanger or damage anyone else in any way. Of course, this presents a problem, since there's always "victims" when someone does any of these 3 activities, but, then again, there are worse things to do.

I`m not a smoker { only when i drink alchohol I smoke, that`s why i`m saying that i`m not smoker} and i`m againt smoking, but a lot of people are dependent ot smoking, thay even cant live without cigarettes ...and it will be very hard for them to live without cigarretes, but how ever we sholu for others health, and if someone one to smoke, he should do it at home..that`s why i`m for laws aginst smoking...and finally for what smoking we`re talking about cigarretes or marihuana ?

The one thing you should do when replying to a topic is check the very first post, as it may have vital information regarding that topic. In this case, had you checked the first post, you would have immediately seen we are talking about cigarrettes.

If tomorrow the whole governments all over the the world, declare smoking something illegal, nothing just would happen, apart of the creation of a mafia of cigarretes, and sobornations from cigarrette companies to that governments....and... and, well it's a product that really produces money.

Personally I think, cigarretes is a dirty business. I mean, if I make cigarretes, and I make loads of money, but I know I'm killing people, and that's not enough just putting small and ridiculous advices, that they produce cancer....

What we really know now, is that it kills eventually, not just for the consumer but for the person who's next to him.

It is something social...we tend to think it's a cool thing... "look at me, I'm smoking!, I'm a bad ass!"

You can see everyday children smoking around... ilt' something to worry about, so watch your children.... and YEAH I SMOKE!

I say "No".

From a serious standpoint, people are addicted, and you can't just stop manufacturing them. Also, think of all the people that are employed in the tobacco business! Think of all the people without jobs! You can't do that to an economy. The only way you can get rid of them is to faze them out and manufacture less and less as the population smokes less.

Also, I believe that if people want to develop lung cancer, let them.

In addition, if cigarettes should be abolished, I think so should unhealthy fast food, since it's relatively just as unhealthy as smoking. Watch "Super Size Me".

Like I said: if people want to go smoke, let them. If you abolish it. it will be as futile as prohibition: it will be smuggled in and sold on the black market. It would be sold just like marijuana (sadly) is sold everywhere.

The problem is that you`re also giving the joy of lung cancer to the people around you.
