I didn’t do the research, but I think more people die from abortion than cigarette caused sickness. I know more people die from heart disease than cancer, but heart disease is exacerbated by smoking.
With the government holding the purse strings to medical care, they will find a way, you can bet your entire gun collection on it, to outlaw whatever they please. Be it too much carbohydrates, or sugars, or refined flour, tobacco, alcohol, transfats, saturated fat, gluten, dairy...all for the better good. Or to punish an industry, or reward another.
It’s all about owning the masses. And government is intent on owning us.
