first debate

       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.
