Ban The ***s

Should tobacco be made illegal ?

It causes more death and disease than other prohibited substances, so , why not ?

 

Ban this, ban that.

If they ban smoking then what next? Alcohol?

 

no , alcohol is the sacred sacrament of our fine nation.

I was just pondering....cocaine, cannabis, even heroin cause less harm to the human body than tobacco..so ,why not ?

 

If you went into a time capsule and came back 200 years later, do you think people will still be smoking tobacco? I suspect not.

I also strongly suspect the substance will be banned - all highly speculative of course

 

I've always been somewhat sceptical of these claims. Anyone who abuses a substance is going to do damage to their body whether it be alcohol, heroin or cocaine. However, most drinkers are sensible and responsible. Most people who take hard drugs are addicts.

 

in some senses yes , cannabis use , particularly in the young can affect brain function in the longer term , unadulterated forms of other drugs dont seem to cause any long term damage - from what Ive read anyway - unless people become dependant on them...but broadly speaking , the same could be said of cigarettes.

I would disagree though that "most people who take hard drugs are addicts".

I guess my point is why do cigarettes enjoy this " exemption " ?

 

You reckon there are more recreational users of coke and heroin than there are addicts?

 

for sure. cocaine anyway. likewise ecstacy.

 

You would if they banned them.

 

It'll come down to economics at the end of the day. Does anyone have any figures for how much the government earns from tobacco in tax against how much it costs the country in health care, sick days etc?

 

One word why not - TAX. Same with alcohol.

Taxes would rocket.

 

It's pretty much recognised now that cigarettes are a drain on the economy.

 

The price of the ****ers makes them a drain on my wages!

 

Smoking is for gays and cool ****s.

I recently gave up, (6 weeks) and what a difference in my energy levels, lung capacity and general well being.

I'd recommend it to anyone.

 

Why don't we ban cars that go faster than 70 m.p.h while we're at it?

 

And ban people with more than one not606 account.

Those ****s are so sad and gay

 

do you feel as if your gay days are behind you now?
