They are already regulated,covered in warnings of portending death and disease,and are all taxed seperately from other commodities. The ATF(U.S. bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firerarms) enforces laws reguarding the taxing+shipping of cigarettes. Illegal tobaccco can be just as serious as illegal narcotics by law, or anything,for that matter,especially imports. What I'm going to say is going to make some people very angry,so be warned.... There is not a shred of proof that smoking anything increases the risk of heart disease. Stress is the number one factor in all studies,followed by a diet high in meat and low in green vegetables. Now... I'm not saying smoking your vegetables is good for you. Of course if you inhale or injest anything foreign to the body for a long enough time in large amount,disease will result. Cancer is actually a genetic based immune response to toxins, cancer cells feed on toxins, that is how chemotherapy works,the poison is pumped into your veins, the cancer cells eat the poison, and die. One family member of mine smoked for 70 years,she is still alive and only has a pacemaker.So does my father, and he never smoked cigarettes. Additionally,My Grandmother on my Mothers side died of cardiac arrest...She did Not Smoke! Furthermore, two of ten people,5 male,5 female,the two youngest ones died first,1 male,1 female...They were my aunt and uncle. Neither of them smoked. My Grandfather died of heart attack. He never smoked! Now as far as the rest of my family and extended family and friends,a good hundred people at least...no one who smokes has died. One man has a small cancer of the lung in remission,now,look at this,He smoked cigars daily since he was 5 years old. Certainly not average. By now I'm sure my point is clear enough to people who want to know the facts,smoking and stress are related,people smoke to releive stress,but now here is the paradox:Stress is proven to kill people on average 35-40 years sooner than smoking with no stress. That's where the studies were flawed.They corrolated tobacco with diseases without doing research that show the difference between high-stress nonsmokers and nonsmokers against low stress smokers and nonsmokers. Probably because people dont smoke if they arent understress,and likely that people with more stress than average die too fast to be found. I really dont want to sound condescending, I do realize that most of this goes against what most people already know. The problem is they know the labels,commercials,warnings,and propaganda,but they have missed out on the facts. The facts have been hidden from scientists, and now deliberately by scientists who work with the FDA to create new more expensive methods of nicotene delivery and Quit smoking drug systems.They,the FDA with Gov't backing can make four times as much on that than tobacco, penny for penny.All the politicians are also major hareholders with pharm. companies by the way. If you cut out the farmer,you can then employ a hundred people who can each turn as high a prophet per year as a single farmer could in one fourth a year.They come out with a new drug every month. I dont want to make it too complicated, but i really wanted to answer that question because the facts are hidden,and the people who run these anti-smoking campaigns are arrogant to think that the average citizen is going to beleive anything they say,that is to say if they cae at all.People wanna smoke,theyre gonna smoke. The FDA, by the way, is calling vitamins a health hazard now. Go figure. As for a deterrent.No. It didnt work for alcohol in prohibition. It isnt working for narcotics and illegal drugs. It doesnt work for anything. All government regulations do is force people to do thier dirty deeds in secret,on the black market,and away from gov'ts nosey persistant prying eyes. If you want to regulate tobacco,you're going to have to instate Chinese Republican Army type laws. The threat of being shot on site might deterr people. On the other hand, most people eventually die of something. The FDA is a scam,an organized crime system,and a terrorist organization,as far as threatening death for smoking. I hope I dont get shot for saying that. Thankyou for reading
