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.
