Quote by: grandpa  Well, the cigarette industry is evil, for lack of a better word. When their goals are to profit off of people getting lung cancer, it's hardly good.
That being said, I am not in favor of laws punishing smokers. That's not a solution. Just don't smoke.
If you have serious trouble quitting smoking (or any other addiction), find a support group of some kind.

The "industry is evil"??? Every company is in business to make a profit. The intention of the tobacco industry is not to profit off of people getting lung cancer, it is just to profit, as with any other company in the world. The industry is simply providing a product that is in fairly high demand and is legal to sell, distribute and use. It is very possible that people don't want to quit smoking. I smoke socially. I don't smoke all the time, but I do when I drink and am out with friends. I have no desire to quit nor find a support group. If I want to stop smoking that is my choice and you nor anyone else has the right to tell me otherwise.
