Only organic cigarettes should be sold. Not the best solution, but its the additives that are real killers.

I think we should concern ourselves with the hard (street) drugs first and hang the pushers.

And hasn't the war on drugs been a smashing success. Drugs need to be regulated because they cannot be eliminated.

And organic alcohol too.

That wouldn't be a smart thing to do.
Then you drive it underground and lose any control over it that you have.
If the government wants to make headway on reducing the harm that tobacco does
it should lower taxes till the bootleg smokes dry up and continue to raise awareness
of the hazards of smoking.

Ban it and everyone can by smokes from the bootleggers that aren't regulated or inspected.

Perhaps being 'sealed' makes them safe, however once you pass one to a friend you are knowingly passing a know health risk around. Go to jail or pay $500. lol

If you taper the ends to a small diameter you do not need a fliter and the size of the hole regulates the 'strength' of the cigarette so less mess with the butts, save it up and put it into the very next smoke.

Go for it. I'll make a killing in seeds.

How about 100 cured leaves for $1.99 (about 10 cartons once it's fluffed up or rolled in 1/8" triple hit cigars, swallow the butt)
