Issues of cigarettes are not just obvious by sight. There are underlying factors that contribute to why smoking is so prevalent and is overwhelming in younger people. Everybody, think of this; Marijuana is illegal yet it has previously been established that there is not a physical addiction like cigarettes give you, there is only a mental addiction in some people. Cigarettes have been said to be as addictive as heroin by its users and its user’s recoveries, alcohol has also been established to have an intense physical addiction in its frequent users ultimately leading them to alcoholism. With this said, why is that the United States has legalized the TWO most addictive substances known to man that is easily made, and distributed? Why isn’t marijuana legal, it is a natural plant from the earth that doesn’t have added chemicals and nicotine, and harmful ingredients which are the real carcinogen killers of cigarettes? The answer is simply, its not truly addicting, and with regular use, it properties will destroy the market of alcohol and cigarettes in the long run, 100 of millions lost for the government. The government legalized the 2 most addictive substances so they can make profit and have a steady income of tax from the addicted users, all these campaigns for nonsmoking…its all lies, if they really wanted smoking gone they’d make it illegal as they do marijuana. Its all about money and the need for the government to make it. They spend just as much in promoting it as they do trying to end it. Need I even begin to speak about healthcare, concerning the cigarette business...?
