If I found the first tobacco plant, and went to the government to get permission to sell this toxic, highly addictive and often lethal substance to the public, how far do you think I'd get?

Your problem is not your atttude toward smoking, but rather your assumption that you need to "go to the government" and "ask permission" for your freedom.

This is so sad for their son.

I had 2 sister-in-laws die. One smoked and died of lung cancer, the other was a health nut and died of inflammatory breast cancer. They died within months of each other.

Life is a crap shoot mostly.
