Banning tobacco would force thousands of farmers out of business, and cause a significant revenue shortfall for the government which collects taxes on such products. It would also force the product underground, where it could not be regulated and thus, less safe. (Similar arguements can be made for the legalization of marijuhana.) Sure, there are other viable alternatives such as permits, increased fees, etc., but they are less politically expedient and still wouldn't solve the problem that the health hazard poses to the general public. A ban, for the aforementioned reasons above, is the best solution, and fairest compromise (smokers can still smoke while the public can breathe clean air.)

However, it CAN HELP. can HELP. If you really want to do something to help the poor, then, yes, your right, get up off your ass and do it. Hey and give me a call, I'd be more than happy to help. In fact, I'm sure there are more than enough people, right here on this board that'll help us solve poverty... oh wait... no there won't be because poverty is going to last as long as you, or I, or any of our childrens' childrens' childrens' etc, children live. It's not going away for a long, long time. It sounds harsh, and it's a horrible realization, but it's true. All we can do is help. So please, set up a forum... hell, I'll do it for you, and we can discuss these types of issues, and we can get out there and volunteer and empower these people... but let me tell you now, we MIGHT only make a dimple of a difference. Now, if YOU are still dedicated to this (well regardless, because I've already decided to make this my life's devotion), then I'm in. My one stipulation is that you become a multi-faceted individual and realize that while monster issues loom over our shoulders everyday, we can still address the smaller, "insignificant" ones as well.
