I have recently come across several organizations that are trying to make the use tobacco illegal. What do you think about this?

NO!!!! Tobacco should NOT be illegal!!! It is a personal choice that everyone has a right to make for themselves (I chose to smoke) and it should stay that way exclaim


besides the government would be stupid to make tobacco illegal seeing as they make billions of dollars off of the taxes.

Well. I do believe in people making their own choices. I don't think that smoking should be illegal, but I do think that parents should not be allowed smoking around their kids. And what I mean by that is. No smoking in a car, house, or closed area with a kid.

Both my parents smoke an incrediblee amount of cigarettes a day. And where are they at? Right next to me. I am always coughing, having sore throats, and having a hard time breathing when I'm running. I don't have asthma or anything like that. And I'm only coughing and have sore throats when I'm around someone that's smoking.

It should have restrictions, especially around children.

I agree with that wholeheartedly. People should NOT smoke around children, EVER! Or around pregnant women. They also shouldn't wear the clothes that they have been smoking in if they plan on picking up a child.

I don't think that it need to be illegal because it is something someone does on there own free will.I understand why they want it to be against the law.You can try to stop them from smoking but you cant put them in jail for it.

eh...it wont happen because to much money is involved but its a waste on cropland that could go for food or hemp.
its a waste of space in my mind.

I agree with that, and nothing can change my mind. Smoking should not be allowed within a 50 mile radius of a hospital.

50 miles is a bit overkill. I'm sure that no matter where in the United States you are, you are within 50 miles of a hospital or walk-in clinic.

well if tobacco is legal then marijuana should be too. its healthier then tobacco, not physically addictive, and the hemp grown can be used for other products as well. that should be a choice as well.

I find this offensive. You're entitled to your opinion, but this is considered being rude to a guild member.
As I've said in a previous thread, I encourage you to read the rules.

I think that it shouldn't be illegal but there should be some limits on it. Like smoking around kids, in a house, or around other people who don't smoke. So many people die of second hand smoke and some people don't like the smoke and I think it's wrong that nothing is being done about that.

maybe it's unfair for me to use my life as an example and i'm as bad as a anti smoking nazi, but i have bad asthma that is from the people around me smoking, and i've never had a cigarette. i know it's tobacco because i had a time where it wasn't bad, but started getting bad again when i started having to associate with smokers. i guess i wouldn't mind the smokeless tobacco because of that, but it's more than likely an all or nothing mentality about it
