Cigarette

If so, why are we still encouring manufacture of cigarettes and cultivation of tobacco. Can’t it be completely banned? Who needs to take initiative?

Yes, and cigarettes will never be banned so long as some privileged group can turn a big profit off of them, with government support. Same goes with aspartame, unproven chemotherapy agents, mercury fillings, etc. Its the $$$ factor.

It is a statutory warning and everybody can read them, so why do they manufacture cigarettes?

There are multiple reasons why cigarettes are manufactured.

First of all, there is a lot of money that goes into lobbying by tobacco manufacturers and states make a huge amount of money off cigarette taxes. That removes any incentive by the state to outlaw the manufacture and distribution of tobacco.

Second, it’s not the state’s responsibility to outlaw products that are unhealthy. There are many products out there that are unhealthy or can be used in unhealthy ways, however it’s an individual’s responsibility to use them wisely.

Third, cigarette sales are banned to minors and they do have the warning labels on them. In this day and age, there is no excuse that anyone doesn’t know the dangers of smoking. At that point, if an adult decides they want to smoke themselves to death, it is up to them.
