October 17, 201213 yr Right it started with people blaming tobacco for the health problems, nobody put a gun to their head to smoke that was their choice. By the way I'm a non-smoker for those of you that might wonder. Are you saying people shouldn't blame tobacco for health problems? Tobacco clearly causes health problems, and thankfully, people in this country are lowering their use of it. It serves no useful purpose. Therefore, as long as our population wises up, its consumption will eventually be reduced to little of nothing. Think about it. If your local economy is based off of tobacco, it is based off of a harmful drug.

October 17, 201213 yr You could say the same for alcohol. :ohbrother: Yes you could. However, why would you complain when the population wises up enough to quit buying something that is killing them. Of course, I am pretty sure you will never have anything to worry about with alcohol. Devilman makes it sound like it is very unfortunate that the tobacco industry is disappearing.

Devilman makes it sound like it is very unfortunate that the tobacco industry is disappearing.And I'm saying also that it was their choice to use tobacco, I however am NOT a tobacco user, I made the CHOICE of not smoking, but it doesn't mean that I support killing the tobacco program. Nor do I drink.
October 17, 201213 yr Author Like the thread reads MY GRIPES AND RANTS. You don't have to agree with me.

Nor do I drink. So people start to wise up and stop using tobacco and you call that killing tobacco? If you're that worried about the tobacco industry do your part and light up. Otherwise your point makes no sense.

People have not been mandated to quit smoking or chewing, they have just started to choose not to. I am in support of not allowing advertisement of the product, and very plain warnings of its health risk.

Not so much people are quit using that's not my point.

It is unfortunate because many people, families depend on the tobacco industry as a source of income.
