Cigarettes Blog

Your arguments about control and smoking seem rather irrational to me. It is tobacco companies who are now admitting in court they sought to "control" the smoking habits of smokers and keep 'em hooked by increasing dramatically the nicotine in cigarettes. And though I don't work for insurance companies, there is documentation in traffic courts around the country of distracted smokers fumbling with tax free cigarettes paraphernalia and causing crashes. I'm sure insurance companies will begin asking questions about cell phones soon since they also cause similar distraction and accident rate increase. Smoking doesn't promote health, and does promote disease. Since it's not part of our nature to need cigarettes to live why not skip it and spend your money on something more productive. It has always been the perogative of government to protect citizens from public health problems and smoking has been identified as one. If you have evidence its not, then sign up with rjr, or see the surgeon general about it. If you choose to smoke do so sparingly, and maybe try something that's not taxed like the dickens...like cigars or pipes.
