Smoking is bad. Yes it causes, cancer, yes it can kill you but... Take away smoking people will still do it and people will lose jobs. This will also take away money to the government. Think about it, they are thinking of even making junk food illegal. Sure you can take away smoking but you're also taking away our rights! Our economy is screwed up enough as it is. So think about it America, do you want to banned smoking? Think about it. I am not a smoker. I am even a middle scholar but I'm still learning how messed up our economy is. America, sad but true. I do not smoke and I hate the idea that my dad does but it's still horrible to take away our rights. Think and make the right decision...]]> 2018-03-20 17:33:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tealomax1225/9nopvuk7ofyb/wish/244171625 tealomax1225 https://padlet.com/tealomax1225/9nopvuk7ofyb/wish/244176476 2018-03-20 17:41:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tealomax1225/9nopvuk7ofyb/wish/244176476 Science tealomax1225 https://padlet.com/tealomax1225/9nopvuk7ofyb/wish/244179550 Cigarettes have been linked to cancer. ]]> 2018-03-20 17:46:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tealomax1225/9nopvuk7ofyb/wish/244179550 Are cigarettes good or bad for you? tealomax1225 https://padlet.com/tealomax1225/9nopvuk7ofyb/wish/245132434 2018-03-22 17:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/tealomax1225/9nopvuk7ofyb/wish/245132434 tealomax1225 https://padlet.com/tealomax1225/9nopvuk7ofyb/wish/245140837

A proposed bill in Oregon to make the possession of cigarettes illegal is well-intended, but from a practical standpoint, it's unlikely to happen, bioethicists and public health experts say.


The ban, sponsored by State Rep. Mitch Greenlick of Portland, would make nicotine a controlled substance, and says possessing more than 0.1 milligrams would be illegal, punishable by a year in prison or a $6,250 fine. Exceptions would be made for people who had a doctor's prescription for the drug,  according to the bill.


Tobacco clearly takes a significant toll on the lives of Americans, causing 450,000 premature deaths each year, and drastic measures should be taken to eliminate the habit from our lives, including, some say, banning cigarettes. But others argue that, in today's society, such a goal is overly idealistic, and would be extremely difficult to implement.
