I think that tobacco should be illegal. It is estimated that there are 5.4 million deaths in 2004 and 100 million deaths in the 20th century. Tobacco is a complete waste of money. It is also a waste of your health. Why would you want to smoke or chew? It's disgusting and there are so many health issues that go along with it. Tobacco affects the heart and lungs. Smoking can cause heart attacks, strokes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, and cancer. The kind of cancers you can get are, lung cancer, cancer of the larynx and mouth, and pancreatic cancer. You can also get gum disease and loss of teeth if you chew tobacco. By chewing you can get cancers of the cheek, esophagus, lip, palate and tongue. You can also get receding gums, and ground-down teeth. You also have terrible breath. Not only are you affecting yourself, but you're affecting the other people that are around you when you smoke. You can get first hand smoke, second hand smoke, and you can now get third hand smoke. There are way too many health problems that are involed in using tobacco. Nobody should even risk it, it's the worst habit out there. It is also way too expensive. Why would you want to spend money on a product that is going to harm you when you can get a product that is more valuable? I just do not see the point in using tobacco. All it does is ruin your health and takes your money.
