The formost reason that cigarettes are not illegal is because many companies are making a lot of money. Without these businesses, many people would lose jobs or not have very much money. If they were made illegal, many people may become poor, resulting in worsening economy. \nAnother reason is because they provide an item that uses many (over 100) chemicals that may otherwised not be used. What would we do with these chemicals if they were not used in the many, many cigarettes that are made daily? They may end up in dumps or other products that should not be altered because there is no place for them to be used. With all of these extra chemicals around, they may possibly be sold secretly, or in stores for a cheap price because they are so common. This would provide access for young people to easily buy them and experiment with them, and we wouldn't want that would we?\nMy last reason is freedom. The constitution allows freedom, and that includes freedom of choice. It is a person's sole responsibilty and choice if they decide to smoke cigarettes. Allowing them not to do so would be going against what our own people allowed for us to do.\nI hope this helps, good luck.

There's no doubt that smoking is not good for you but....\nI would be more concerned about the air you breathe daily!\nI would be more concerned about what we eat!laboratory experiments show that pigs can indeed be infected by Mad Cow brains--and hundreds of thousands of downer pigs, too sick or crippled by injury to even walk, arrive at U.S. slaughterhouses every year.This article also includes info on other meat sources as well! A good read and "food" for thought No pun intended!\nDid you know that the average person takes over 20,000 breaths a day.We spend our entire day breathing in and out and yet, most of the time, we don’t even think about it.  We’re not aware of a function which is vital for sustaining life.  \nOf the air cancer risk calculated by EDF for the U.S. as a whole, 60 percent is from mobile sources and 26 percent from small business 'area; sources, with the remaining 14 percent from industrial 'point' sources.Wouldn't cigarettes be considered an air cancer risk since we breathe in the smoke?\nMore people die each year in the United States from medical errors than from highway accidents, breast cancer or AIDS, \n\nSo you see it doesn't really matter where you live,how much money you have,or what you do to earn a living,we all breathe the same air and buy our food from the same food chain,From the minute you are born,you begin to die,so don't take life too seriously,you're not going to come out of it alive,and a hundred years from now,nobody's going to give a rats behind about you any ways!so chill,don't worry be happy! and smile!

Because tobacco is addictive and they're trying to tell you not to do it, so you won't get addicted to it and ruin your own lungs like they know there's are getting ruined. Ok.....a guy jumps off a building. You see him hit the ground. He tells you, no don't jump, it hurts really bad when you land. So, are you going to think, hey, he jumped, why shouldn't I jump.

For profit.  Most of the products are from consumer choice.  It would get supplied anyway on the black market if the product was outlawed completely.  See Prohibition.\n\nCars kill people everyday also.  Do we stop making them because of that?

lol  never heard of that.  I wonder if it wouldn't be because most smokers want a cig right after they eat, and stuff's allready gettin pushed around?  Just a thought

Because insects use a different type of respiratory system than people do.  Rather than breathe air in through centralized nostrils to their lungs, they breathe air in through a de-centralized network of smaller tubes located all over the surface of their body known as spiracles.\n\nBecause of the large area they take oxygen in through, they are able to store enough air to breath for an extended period of time when deprived of oxygen, as they are when they're trapped underwater.  The water's surface tension keeps it from draining into the spiracles on their body, which is why it simply doesn't flood their respiratory system and drown them.  \n\nUsing this method of respiration allows roaches extra time to find their way back to a surface where they can get more air, and cockroaches aren't too particular about where they live, being well armored and equipped to survive in just about any conditions.\n\nSo, when you flush the roach, it just holds its breath, goes along for the ride, and when it gets to the sewer either drowns eventually or just crawls its way to the surface and moves on with life.\n\n\nP.S.-- This is also why pesticide makers have to either find an ingredient to break down the surface tension of water they suspend their poisons in or just go with another liquid base for their poisons... if the surface tension of the water is normal, the poison just sits on the outside of the roach's dead armor shell, and it holds its breath and waits until it dries off and the poison is no longer an issue.\n\nP.P.S.-- Have you seen how misclassified most of the questions on Yahoo Answers are?  Folks are asking jokes in philosophy, biology questions in engineering, sexual health questions in cooking, cooking questions in religion, and questions about dogs in the math section.  I'd be willing to bet a lot of people don't bother to pay very much attention to where the question is classified any more.

If you don't breathe in cigar's smoke, maybe they are better. Anyway, we are talking about two similar risks with both bad for health, so it's not logic to find the worst one.\nDo you like to jump from the 7th or 4th floor?

The idea is that military guys are hardasses, so instead of smoking a puny cigarette, they smoke the huge cigar.  Another aspect is the lack of concern for one's health.  You're not worried about your lungs or what you're doing to yourself when you're getting shot at and could die any time.  It's a way of being a hardass and living it up while you can.

Of course there are cigarettes without nicotine, and they can be made easily.  Nicotine is the most addictive substance PUT in cigarettes by the tobacco companies to keep you hooked on them.  Why would cigarette companies eliminate this chemical?\n\nQuestion for you smokers trying to quit:  Have you noticed that it is currently harder to quit smoking than it was 15 years ago?  That's because more nicotine is added.  As a smoker, I wish that cigarettes were illegal.

yeah, its called Marinol. it comes as a tablet, i guess because they dont want people smoking joints. it works the same though. and it is actually used for medical purposes when it is prescribed, not just to make your dumb ass friends think youre cool

There has been a mind-control program regarding second-hand smoke instigated by the controllers of the medical industry.\nThey are struggling to hide the fact that vaccinations are killing people, and they put it down to second hand smoke and sun bathing.\nSecond hand smoke has far less effect that the pollution from a passing car

Go online and research natural anti-virals/bacterials like olive leaf extract,grapefruit seed extract, and colloidal silver. You will be surprised at the success researchers have had with these products. I don't depend on the government for anything and never will! Take charge of your health and be at peace.

Absolutely! They are made with tobacco which is the source of the nicotine. Here is some info you should know!\n\nCigar Smoking Skyrockets \nCigar Smoking Skyrockets \n \nArticle date: 1998/12/31  \nBetween 1989 and 1993, cigar smoking skyrocketed 133 percent according to researchers at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute's Department of Cancer Control and Epidemiology in Buffalo, N.Y. Their findings were published in the July 1998 edition of the American Journal of Public Health. Researchers surveyed 22 communities in North America, and found an increase in cigar use among both sexes, as well as in all age groups, races, incomes, educational levels and smoking frequency.\nTheir findings concur with those of many scientists, who noted a sharp decline in the prevalence of cigar smoking from 1964 to 1991, then a resurgence in popularity, particularly among younger adults, over the past few years. According to the Cigar Association of America, two billion cigars were sold to 10 million cigar smokers in 1994, the first year of a marked increase in sales. In 1996, 4.4 billion cigars were sold, marking a 45 percent increase in sales since 1993. Many people believe these increases are due in large part because of manufacturer's marketing and advertising efforts, celebrity endorsements of cigars as glamorous and acceptable, and the linking of cigars and the supposed good life in TV shows, movies, and magazines.\n\nResearchers also noted the public may think cigar smoking is a safer and less addictive alternative to cigarettes. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, cancer deaths among cigar smokers are 34 percent higher than among nonsmokers. They also state cigar smoking causes cancers of the larynx, oral cavity, esophagus, and lungs. Just like cigarettes, cigars contain nicotine.\n\nA 1996 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), found an estimated six million US teenagers aged 14-19 had smoked at least one cigar within the past year.\n\nHere are some other facts about cigars and their usage:\n\n\nThe carcinogens and cancer-producing chemicals found in cigarettes are also present in cigars.\n\nCigar smokers have three times the risk of developing lung cancer than nonsmokers, according to a 1985 study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI).\n\nCigar smokers are more likely than nonsmokers to suffer from persistent coughs, phlegm, and are at increased risk of peptic ulcers, according to a 1987 issue of The American Journal of Public Health.\n\nConcentrations in tar and nicotine are much higher in cigars than cigarettes, according to a study in a 1988 edition of Preventative Medicine. In a presentation at a June 1998 American Cancer Society conference on the health risks of cigar smoking, scientist Jack Henningfield, PhD, vice president of research and health policy at Pinney Associates noted the amounts of nicotine in cigars. "A study of 10 cigar types showed that cigars contain amounts of nicotine ranging (on the low end) from that equivalent to a single cigarette to (on the high end) that equivalent to an entire pack of cigarettes. Most cigars contain nicotine in quantities equivalent to several cigarettes," he said.\n\nExposure to secondhand cigar smoke carries the same risks as exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke, according to an article in the January 10, 1995 edition of TheWashington Post.\n\nCigar packages bear no warning from the Surgeon General, as cigarette packages do.\n\nThe 1990 Budget Reconciliation Act taxes cigars at a federal level of $1.125 per thousand, which equals less than a penny each.\n\nAccording to a presentation at the ACS cigar conference given by researcher John Slade, MD, addiction and chemical dependencies specialist at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey, "The sale of cigars has increased markedly in the past five years. Despite the fact that virtually all of the advertising and promotion of these produc

WTF!!! Thats awesome, I've never heard of such a thing but not only do matches contain sulfur, they also contain potassium chlorate which is used as a pesticide and is to be handled with care when mixing other chemicals, which in better terms could be best understood as to why they would "ingest/consume" them. From what I recall, parents of soldiers and marines here in Texas have special request items such as gatorade, magazines, books, cd's ect. wanted by sons and daughters serving in that country they call "Iraq", and one of the top items requested by many of them was suprisingly dog/cat flea collars. I asked one parent and she mentioned they have a problem with the sand fleas and some other insects and so they wear them around the wrists and ankles to solve that problem and to me that would seem like a more safer and SMARTER alternative than to swallow some chemicals not knowing what could happen to them in years later on in life.
