We DO have control over it... it is called anti-smoking laws. Can you smoke in a restaraunt in NY or CA? No. I call that control. Once again, you are wrong. Stop talking now, please.

Im afriad that these 2 posts completely contradict themselves. One on hand we have rights...On another when it is more appropiate for your argument we dont have rights. The game isnt played that way. And yes, Majority does smoke. How many senators do you think smoke? You know what well go with your "majority doesnt smoke" argument and look at it this way.

1 southern ecomomy depends on tobacco farmers...oh and another

2 if you dont wanna read it it says that 38 BILLION dollars yearly are spent. Take that out of the economy and see what happens. Really think that we would be alright if everyone stopped smoking? Yes indiana has passed smoking laws. Who pays there? Bussiness because 80% of the customers smoke so when bussiness all leave because they cant make business you area property value drops drastically and you slip into poveryty level. You cant not possibly justify removing tobacco in america because You are not gonna be breathing any cleaner air you will be making less money and I would be surprised if anarchy doesnt erupt in the streets because of it
