OPINION ESSAY
Should the same laws which prohibit the sale and consumption of heroin be applied to tobacco?
As far as I'm concerned I think yes. The tobacco isn't considered a drug but it's still hard hit to health. I believe that we should apply the same laws, but the problem is there are a lot of money behind the tobacco and that is the reason it isn't prohibited.
The tobacco harms ous health, maybe not in the same way as other drugs, but in a long term, tobacco can cause very serious problems such as cancer. When we buy a pack of tobacco, we really don't know what are we buying, as it contains many ingredients weren't specified.
As I said before, the problem is all the money behind the tobacco. Many people do not care it it harms the health of others, just want to have money and don't mind the price they must pay to achieve it.
Unfortunately, we live in a corrupt world where selfishness of people going beyond what is ethical or moral, where the only God is the money and beyond there is nothing.

Mary Curie
MARY CURIE
Mary Curie was born as Manya Sklodowska in Warsaw, Poland in 1867. At first, she began working as a governess in the rural town of Szczuki, in Poland.
Then, she enrolled in the University of Paris as Mademoiselle Marie Sklodowska.
Soon, she received her “licence és sciences physiques”, the French equivalent of a master's degree in physics.
One year later she went to the French's Society for the Encouragement of National Industry of study the magnetism of steels and met Pierre Curie.
After that, she married him.
Later, she began her investigation of “Becquerel rays” as the doctorate thesis.
Pierre joined her work. One year later, she announced, with her husband, the discovery of polonium and radium, began her four-year effort to prepare a pure sample of radium.
In 1903, Mary received her doctorate physics from the University of Paris, then, Mary, Pierre Curie and Henri Bacquerel shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of radioactivity.
Soon, Pierre was killed when a horse-drawn wagon ran over him in a busy Paris street and after that, the University of Paris selected Mary Curie to succeed her husband as professor of physics and she became the university's first female professor.
Next, France Academy of Sciences refused to grant Curie membership because she was a woman, but in the same year she won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of radium and polonium.
As soon as the world war I ended, Curie oficially opened the Radium Institute of the University of Paris. Then, she visited the United States to raise money for the Radium Institute. Finally, in 1934 she died of leukemia caused by radiation poisoning.
