The production and sale of cigarette should be pro.


Nowadays, more and more people are addicted to smoking. However smoking is harmful to people's health. If the cigarette is good for health, why so many sellers of cigarette did not smoke. If the nicotine is good for health,  why does many people say that smoking is harmful to health.

Debate

I am sitting on this side because I can choose to sit here, just as I can choose to buy cigarettes or not buy cigarettes. I am a legal adult, capable of making my own decisions. There are a lot of things that can kill you in this world. To me, cigarettes seem on the lower rungs of the death ladder. I could see where Nick Naylor would want to make the argument about the number one killer being heart disease. A person doesn’t just contract heart disease in a day,  it is the repeated use of a toxic diet. Cigarettes aren’t good, but they certainly aren’t the worst, I would think.

My debate post must have not posted before hitting the "X" on my browser.

So, I will retype it and hopefully no penalty will occur. 

I believe the advertising of tobacco is absolutely fine and there should be no limitations on it. Not only because of the freedom of speech and other freedoms us as Americans are privileged to have, but because we--people over 18--are normal human beings and can make our own decisions. It is a product.  A product just like shirts, shoes, food, and anything else on sale. It is a product that advertisers   try to make consumers buy. It is the job for the consumer to decide whether to buy it or not. It is similar to someone falling off a ship: someone will throw you a life vest, it is their choice to grab the vest or drown. The person throwing it simply put it out there to see it--- just like marketers do with their products. 

Debate

I think that advertising and the sale of tobacco should be legal because it violates what this country was founded upon which was freedom. This includes the freedoms to do what we want to ourselves. We are aware of the side effects and tobacco and those who use it make the choice to do so themselves if they make it illegal it will be one more illegal product that people make and sell illegally.

The production of sales of cigarettes shouldn't be legally prohibited because of all of the people that use it in the world.  Why am I on this side? Well everyone is warned about all of the things that can happen to you from smoking so it is their choice to do it. There are a ton of things in this world that are bad for you, so they would have to prohibit a lot more than just smoking.

       I believe the production and sale of cigarettes should not be legally prohibited. Even with cigarette adveristsments and the influence of actors /actresses doing it on tv (which isnt seen to much anymore) there are just as many advertisements that are anti- smoking. Since I've been in school, there has always been some sort of lesson that tells you of the consequences of smoking. so its been stored in my head what happens to the body when tobacco is smoked. with that being said it is MY CHOICE not to smoke cigarrettes, but for those that do were also informed about the consequences as well. yes, cigarrettes do a lot of harm, but people can choose not to smoke them, just like they have to the choice to smoke. Advertisements and commercials tell you about the dangers of smoking, thats their only job. it is the persons job watching the commercial to decided whether they will listen to the consequences and not smoke.

First Debate

I don’t believe they should be. For one, many Americans would be out of a job. It is also a form of pleasure or satisfaction for many Americans. If the production of cigarettes were legally prohibited, the government would have an uprising on their hands to deal with. Many Americans would be angry and probably start riots. It is a person’s own right to chose to smoke or not. They may have been proven to be harmful to a person’s health, but people have a right to act and chose and do with their life what they want.
