Personally I think that tobacco should be banned because of the health effects, and the ingredients in tobacco products. Even tobacco that is smoke-less is just as deadly as cigarretes. If you abuse tobacco it can cause different types of cancers, heart disease, stroke, birth defects, and other health issues. Once society thought tobacco was popular but now it is not. The tobacco companies got a lot of money from tobacco products because of advertisements that made tobacco popular. But the government has taken action on this problem such as age limits, tobacco companies no longer have popular advertisements, and several other tobacco laws. The ingredients found in tobacco products include arsenic, cyanide, nicotine, formaldehyde, soot, pesticides, etc. Here are some sources with facts on tobacco.
