That being said, let’s not demonize tabacco because the tabacco industry puts a whole bunch of other garbage in cigarettes. I guarantee you if you take the dagers of burning organic tobacco and compair them to diesel fuel, the fuel will come out worse 100 out of 100 times. Tabacco is just a plant. It’s no more dangerous to burn than fire wood.

Cracking down on people’s rights to indulge in their drug of choice is still cracking down on people’s rights. Every time you take a right away, it harms the society. The reality is, people are gonna smoke what they want, regardless of the laws. If you doubt that, I advise you to read up on what happened during prohibition.

Why is it that we can’t find a middle road? I mean how hard would it be to go to the tabacco companies and say, “you can only put tabacco in your cigarettes” ? That way we are stoping the burning of harmful chemicals and not taking away the rights of people. Regulate the problem, not the cloak of the problem.

And if you are saying to yourself, “what if I wanna smoke rat poison?” I’m not saying you can’t. Feel free to go pick it up at the store and indulge. It’s your body.

For the rest of you, please don’t slam those of us who want to have a beer and blow smoke rings at the bar. I can guarantee you that my water filtered smoke is nothing when put against mini van emissions.

If you don’t believe me, well I do live in Utah. You know, the state with 3 of the top 10 worst air qualities in the nation. The mormons make sure that smoking is restricted to the max here. It’s not the problem. The mass hord of minivans is.
