Nah. Tobacco, in and of itself, is not really addictive in my experience. I've had it raw in a pipe and hookah and it's killer like that. It's when you buy it processed, full of chemicals, and wrapped in the paper equivalent of death that they become harmful.

Hell yeah!

I would not ban them. I quit over 15 years ago, but as long as I am not in a place where I must inhale those fumes, I don't care if other people want to smoke.

My first instinct was to say yes. Then I realised that the UK government would be down £8,000,000,000 so I don't know what the consequences would be. Maybe they couldn't fund the NHS as well and even more people would die.

Cigarettes yes blunts no.

I call tobacco a "soft drug", it's like alcohol or coffee - or pot, it's just a little drug that takes some of the edge of life. I'm a smoker - but I'm temped to say BAN IT! - then again, why should we really - life is short, let people get a few simple pleasures in there lives before the final curtain draws closed. Huh! Call me ambivalent on the subject - I don't want to take a stand either way.

No, I would ban the monsters who put addictive and poisonous additives into the tobacco in the first place. I don't remember our ancestors smoking like we do nowadays. Smoking was considered a sacred ritual and when done with that purpose, it was not harmful at all. Moderation is impossible with the crap they add into a cigarette. Just knowing this should get you pissed off enough to put them down and get your power back.

Only if we could ban religion from this planet at the same time.

No. Because I believe people have the right to do what thye want with their bodies in private. But I would keep existing laws that ban smoking in public because cigarette smoke is a poisonous deadly gas, and non-smokers have the right to not be assaulted with deadly chemicals in public.

I think the tobacco itself and the way the Indians used it was pretty harmless. They puffed a little in a pipe only occasionally, and passed it around the circle, each warrior only taking a puff or two. It was made into a deadly carcinogen by big business; they pumped it full of tar and extra chemicals and made sure it was as addictive as could be, to fatten their profits.
