If smoking kills, why not stop its production?

simply because almost everyone's patronizing it! if nobody will buy, nobody will produce...am i making sense?

One word - commerce. It's also the reason why military weapons are still being developed, why there's deforestation and also why we still use gas guzzling vehicles. Commerce is the main culprit.

Yes you already give one reason why. it's just bussines they don't care it's good or not as long it make a lot of money then it will allowed. this is really suck when people know how bad their government.

You answered your own discussion. It's big money all around. Not only in revenue to the government but to the pockets of many other influential people and corporations. Think about the different industries that would be disrupted if there were no more smokers. Like I and you said, big money.

maybe. but i think it is quite a big decision since it affect many people (since more and more people start smoking!). to approve the law to stop production needs majority among politicians,etc..and since most of this people also smoke,do you think they will be comfortable supporting this?..hehe i think not! i'm starting to feel like smoking is considered by many people just like eating chocolate,just a normal thing you put in your mouth...'sigh' what a weird world we live in.
