Why isn't cigarette manufacturing stopped totally, by Governments all over the world?

Bottom line it is about money. The federal government and all the state governments bring in tens of millions of dollars annually in tobacco taxes. Ban tobacco and the states lose millions in tax revenues. Revenues you can bet they would make up for in higher taxes else where (i.e. property, sales, licensing fees, etc.).

Despite what religious loons are so afraid, a one world government would probably work as long as the nations still retained a large extent of independence. Each country manages its own militia, laws and customs; economical measures are passed by the larger government and circulate in a single, united currency whose value is measured through comparisons to gold. However, maintaining a militia is to be done solely for self-defense and retaining the independence of the country. Sanctions should be imposed on member states whose military membership exceeds 250,000 men. The economy is to be as free as it can, but should also guarantee basic human rights such as fair wages and education. And it should not, I repeat, SHOULD NOT, be socialist. Socialism and communism only work in small cities or villages. Countries at large cannot be run effectively through both systems, let alone the entire world.

It's called Freedom in our country. When the government gets teed off at a business, they will determine them to be hazardous to the public. People have the right to make foolish decisions. They voted for Obama.

One step at a time. We (in the U.S.) will have pictures of corpses on the packs soon, it is suppose to go into effect this year. The big tobacco companies are fighting those pictures to keep it of the packs.

Money

Tobacco farming and anti-smoking campaigns both provide jobs

Hmm. Al Capone ring a bell?

Who else can the government sue? twice a year.

We would be better off if liberals were not permitted to breed.
