Joe Camel (cigarettes) seemed like he was a pretty cool guy. His cartoon like character was the image for the young teenage population. The Marlbro (cigarettes) cowboy seemed like he could do anything right, not to mention he could get any hot chick that he wanted. People in the ads for Kool cigarettes seemed like they were relaxed and had all the money in the world. Skoal chewing tobacco say "Always there in a pinch." This advertisement made it seem like if someone can't smoke because of sports then someone might as well chew. What might I be talking about? These are just some of the advertisements that make these tobacco products seem like they look irresistible.

Before a government was even produced, tobacco in this country has been legal. In small efforts to take tobacco out of the nation's economy, tobacco is taxed, but not made illegal. Tobacco is one of the leading causes of death in the nation, but the government is greedy. The government tires to help the health programs get better, but still does not make tobacco illegal. Is this the kind of government someone would want to live under? I know that this government is not popular with me. That's why I think this government is no better than a murderer when it comes to making tobacco illegal in America.
