The government has drummed it in peoples heads about smoking causing cancer. But, how about all the other chemicals in our food extra... that is known to cause cancer ? There are people who never smoked a cigarette in their life and got cancer, how about them ? If you are over the age of 18, then you should have the right to smoke if you want too. I remember a time when you could even smoke in the doctor's waiting room. People were more friendler in those days. No one was trying to take someone's elses rights away. I miss those days so much.
