How do you bring down big tobacco. You sue them, the government sues them. Then enact laws banning cigarettes or smoking in general. Sorry but if you are not the right big business you are put out of business.

You maybe thinking I'm a smoker at this point but you would be wrong. I haven't smoked in a while now all because my son asked me to quit. I now see both side of this issue.

I now think some are going to far with let's deal with the bad habits of the other people instead of our own. If a person wants to kill them selves slowly let them. Just don't give them lungs of livers and the like. This act alone will bring down the population and reduce the cost of health care at the same time.

But how do you tell if they visit a doctor for health related issues that it wasn't caused by smoking? Refuse health care for all smokers?

See…this is “one” of the basic problems with socialism, when everyone is paying for everyone else’s “stuff” this kind of situation arises.

...................................

Banning smoking outdoors to protect children from second hand smoke…lol…what about car exhaust & BBQs.

Not to mention…camp fires…sshhhh

Oh…wait…they’re next!

nah it's more like: since people in general absolutely refuse to take any personal responsibility nowadays they ask the gvmt to do something.
