Unfortunately for Americans, each new generation will be the target of significant advertising from tobacco companies, because new smokers have to replace the old smokers who have either quit or been killed off by the habit, who are likely to have belonged to the lower class. Unless strict government bans and regulations on the sales and distribution of tobacco products are put into place, in addition to the ones currently in effect, smoking will forever continue to be the number one cause of preventable death in the United States. Today, the main argument keeping tobacco products from 100% illegality is that smokers should have the freedom to purchase and use tobacco products as much as they please, despite the irrefutable evidence that cigarettes will kill each user slowly and without mercy. Is the war against tobacco worth compromising our civil liberties?
