are you saying that i am incapable of making decisions about how i should live my life?
Sometimes, yes. You or any other "addicted" personalities should not be given the right to make your own decisions on said products. Its the "addicted" personalities that are financing and contributing to this problem. If the products werent chemically enhanced to be addictive, then you would have the right to make your own decisions.
Not often do I see a drunk driver careen into an oncoming car which is driven also by a drunk driver. Had that be the case, then I wouldnt give a flyin crap.
2nd hand tobacco smoke is something that I cannot personally control. Its not fair for me not to be able to make that decision for myself. What am I supposed to do..... NOT BREATHE? Therefore It should not be your decision to smoke in my presence (hypothetically speaking). Who gives your choices more importance than mine, or any other human beings?

1. It wouldn't work, Cocaine is Illeagal and readily availible to anyone who chooses to obtain it. why drive a product that can be readily controlled under the counter?
There really isnt an industry that is in control of this. Its somewhat grown goods, like pot, and for the most part... the people are making the money, not an industry that is free to advertise and brainwash all the sheople into wanting to start.

2. Adiction is a personal thing, some people are easily adicted by anything, gambling , cigarette's, ****, MMORPG just beacuse people like to do somethink does not indicate thatthey are addicted
I agree its a personal thing, but its the advertisements and peer pressure that gets you started, and then its the chemicals put in these that keep you coming back. This is an onset addiction intentially caused to take advantage of you.

3. I am an adult, i have the right to choose what i do. If i choose to do something that the Law considers Illeagal then i am punished if caught doing it. beyond that no other person other than my Wife, children and persons who i personally choose have the right to tell me what i can do. Especially not an egomaniac like you.
I beg to differ. If you light up in a restaurant and me or my family is being bothered, then the restaurant will tell you to do what you dont want to.

4. The govenment makes a huge profit for the sale of Alcohol and tobacco, which it used to fund various sectors that improve the life of all of us.
Dont get me started on the government. Its as big of an Azz-raper as the tobacco industry.
