Smoking is bad for us ,but ?

Why doesn't governments BAN additives that are known canser causing agents ? Here , in North America, municipal and state governments have the power to BAN trans fats from food ! I'm not suggesting that this will make smoking healthier...just much less harmful ! Seems they can easily BAN the act of smoking in public places ! Enlighten me, please ! Thanks...Photomyrna

    yeah right, smoking companies make billions of dollars and the gov't profits from that even at our expense. As long as the gov't gets there money they dont care who lives or dies.
