article / Savage Government Profits from death of 500,000 of its own citizens every year,

News Headline Question. What would you say to the newspaper headline; Savage Government Profits from death of 500,000 of its own citizens every year, and does it openly, saying “there is nothing wrong with it, it is our culture”. Question. Would you go bomb the entire population and kill more citizens further, to enforce your more civilized living standards, as Bush labeled the Iraq invasion? If you answered yes, then you just bombed yourself, as your government makes countless billions per year in the taxes applied to tobacco. Tobacco kills hundreds of thousands of people each year and generates huge revenues for the companies that create them and the government. Mostly the government. One of the ways they keep the smoking clients spending, and dieing, is by including a chemical called nicotine, which is one of the most highly addictive substances in the world. Nicotine keeps you hooked and them in the money. If you think about it, if people stopped craving cigarettes they would probably stop smoking them. Why not just make the companies build cigarettes that are not addictive? They taste the same but dont hook you. Well the profits would go down, less people will die, and the government won’t have that. Yet the very same government will imprison people for smoking a joint, which is now and always has been used for medicinal purposes all over the world and is much less harmful than cigarettes.
