I don't think the tobacco industry should be required to discourage use of their product. No other product out there has the same requirements.

Heroin? Crack? Speed? They all seem to make people feel good (or something) and kill people.

Those are illegal, tobacco is not.

True, but that defies logic. Either they should all be legal, or they should all be illegal.

I hate smoking probably as much as you, ed, but smoking is not comparable with heroin, crack and speed. Not at all.

Defies logic? How?

Natural tobacco is really nice. Use to love a good cigar. It was a treat to have one. You can get natural tobacco cigarettes about everywhere now.

Some people always think they know what's best for everyone else. Kind of like you and the lady who likes to spend her money on scams...lol

If my relative was going to give a million dollars to bernie madoff for an "investment" id damn sure try to stop it. If you wouldn't, then you don't care about that person.

I would also try to get a friend or relative to stop smoking--and have done so many times.

I love how just because I don't agree with you that somehow makes me not care. As I said, it's her money and you have no right to tell her how she can spend it or if she can have that cigarette. I thought you were all about personal freedom. Is that only for those you agree with?

No one quits smoking because of another person. They might be a motivation to stop. But no one stops unless they really want to.

Never failed, somebody would say something about quitting I wanted to smoke more.

And I still think it is wrong to make the tobacco companies pay for commercials and campaigns against their own product.

Couldn't you see that with car companies or anyone else?
