It's simple if there is a demand there is a supply. There are a lot of people smoking and of course business is business and smoking is dangerous if you excessively using it or should I say If got addicted to this. It's all self discipline don't avail this product.

Yeah, I notice for some time now .. First of all, walking on street is also dangerous for health .. watching TV is also dangerous for health .. you name it, an human activity, which is not dangerous .. But .. there is always a but .. Tabaco, alcohool and petrol taxes are about a half of income to country budget, no matter which coutry we are speaking about. So, taking one of thos eout of the law range will colapse the country .. not to mention also the huge number of unemplyees wich would result from shooting down the tabaco industry .. plus a gazilion of peoples from same country and also other countries who are farmes and they harvest .. tabaco ...

yes raul you are right with that, it is one of the biggest income that a country could have and if they will be remove, of course we all suffers from it specially the farmers or the employer from the factory itself.. well i think it all depends on the person who smoke, just take it easy and have a little bit control of it..!!

My brother smokes and we were just talking about the same issue hours ago and laughing about it. He smokes Marlboro cigs and then when you look at the box it has that disclaimer (Smoking is dangerous to your health) but when you flip it, there's also a sign that says "from 2009 onwards Marlboro will continue to bring you the best smoking experience to the world..." something like that... We couldn't stop laughing lol.

it all has to do with this MONEY because the big companies are willing to look past the fact that they are killing people and only see the money that they are making off other peoples suffering

Well they mainly do it not to get suede! It's like with the Coffee in MacDonald s where they write on the cup that it's hot... It's because of people that look for any reason at all to get money of anything,they just go one day to some company and say "Oh my gosh you poisoned me! I'm going to sue you!",and when it get's to the court they just say that they didn't know that it was bad and play role. And no one can prove that he/she knew that it was harmful or not and they win big cash. So that's why now a days they point out the obvious so much just about everything! Hope I cleared things up a bit :D
