[quote=Anonymous]What do you mean by "legal"? You think it should be a federal crime to possess tobacco? to sell tobacco? Or a state crime? Felony or misdemeanor? Tobacco use is highly-regulated in many ways- taxed at a high rate, illegal to sell to anyone under 18, illegal to smoke in many private and public spaces, etc.... Who knows, maybe we'll get there at some point, but I think that would be a shame. I agree that tobacco is a killer and that there is no real redeeming value, but I'm really not sure I would want to live in a place where the government could universally criminalize something with like that. I am all for regulating the hell out of it to limit the negative affects of second-hand smoke so that non-smokers were not endangers, such as increased limitation on where people can smoke. But if someone wants to sit in their home and smoke all day, I really can't see a justification for that being a crime.[/quote]
