I guess that more of my point in a different way...
One mentioned that its another thing for the govt to take away... well thats the problem... they are the last ones to who would want this. We arnt controlled by the govt, we are controlled by big biz, and they control the govt (for the peoples attention).. Sucks, people have to die so others can have a $20 million house.
Yes its our faults for starting, but there is no need for cigs, they do nothing but kill you. The only people who like them are the ones not additcted, but as soon as they get roped in, its all down hill from there.
