Excellent point. I called my alderman(Chicago) and asked the exact same thing. The response was that they didn't want to ban the sale of cigarettes because it is a legal product. What a joke. It's legal to own the product but not to use it.
Cigarettes are the only known product on the market today where it is legal to buy and yet we are made to feel like criminals for using it. Does this make sense to anybody??
And why is the media and the anti's continually allowed to spew the big lie that second hand smoke is killing everyone, when the WHO and the Ornal Study has completely disowned any connection of death with second hand smoke?!
ETS is NOT a killer! It is NOT killing everyone!
And what with all that smog out in California along with the smokers, common sense would tell us that there shouldn't be a soul alive in that state today.
