Tobacco Products Must Be Illegal

By

How is it possible for something that kills so many people to be

legal in a country that boasts the supreme protection of it?s citizens?

Tobacco is literally destroying thousands of lives everyday, and all

attempts toward putting the tobacco problem to an end have been

unsuccessful. Something must be done effectively to stop the rapid

growth of tobacco abusers and victims. In the following paragraphs, I

will provide strong points of support which ultimately favor the

illegalization of tobacco in the U.S. I will first start with the lighter

side of the problem, which is the economic loss the individuals

endure.

Curiosity may arise from the statement of economic loss being

the lighter side of the problem, but considering the other possible

setbacks to be explained later, the loss of money should be of far less

concern. By pointing out the amount of money the American people

spend annually on tobacco products, it is possible to make apparent

the strong addiction taking toll through the use of tobacco. Tobacco

companies make around 1.4 and 1.9 trillion dollars a year. This is an

awful large amount of American money spent on something that in no

way promotes healthy living, but is rather damaging. Individuals

spend an absurd average of $900 a year on cigarettes, chewing

tobacco, cigars, snuff, and other tobacco products. It is sad to think

these addicted individuals could have a wonderful trip to Hawaii, but

instead, are involved and blinded by a filthy habit. It is quite

astonishing how much people are willing to pay for their use of

tobacco, but it is even more astonishing at what age many of these

tobacco users begin.

It is a fact, more than 3,000 kids begin smoking everyday in the

U.S. At this rate, there will be 1,095,000 new kids smoking a year. An

extremely large number of new smokers, which is actually larger

when considering the amount of adults who begin smoking. This is

just the statistics for smokers. Other tobacco users, such as people

who chew, add a good deal to the statistic of new tobacco users.
