Now there's a complicated issue!
From what I understand, Tobacco is a large part of the economy (not quite as big as oil...but still pretty big).
My point exactly. It's not complicated at all. They don't dare make it illegal so instead do all they can to turn public opinion against the people addicted to it, making them into some sort of second class citizens. Strange how the same does not apply to people addicted to other drugs that are illegal. I agree that non-smokers should not be forced to put up with someone else's smoke. I also agree with it being banned in the workplace & other public areas but I strongly object to being victimised for my perfectly legal habit. It seems to get worse every day & the anti-smoking lobby is having a ball. I'm fed up with the hypocrisy of it all.
