Do you think cigarettes should be banned?

deucher
Yes! but it will never happen. There needs to be more awareness, more education on how harmful cigarettes are. Children should be taught at a young age that smoking causes about 20% of all cancers and about 30% of all cancer deaths in the United States. Also, about 80% of lung cancers is caused from smoking cigarettes. Very scary statistics.
 
While I understand the severe health risks associated with smoking, an outright ban on cigarettes gives me pause. Such a prohibitive measure could potentially create a dangerous black market. Instead, I believe a multi-pronged approach of heavy taxation, strict regulation of advertising and sales, and funding for public education campaigns and cessation programs would be more effective.
 
I see no reason why it should be banned. It has been written there clearly that it is harmful to smoker’s health. So anyone engaging in it knows what they are signing up for.
I feel it should be banned regardless of whether they know what they are signing for or not. The same way some countries ban gambling because it can wreck their citizens financially.
