Tobacco may still be bad for you but it wouldn't be as lethal without all those harsh additives they throw in there. Why don't they just ban all that? They won't.
Money. With all the money that government gets from the Tobacco Settlement as well as the tax they get from the addictive nature of the cigarettes, they'll never make them "healthier." That's millions of dollars that they wouldn't have then.
Which is why it surprises me that the government doesn't legalize a regulated form of marijuana. It would bring in SO much more money, not just through the sales of the weed itself but think of how much will be spent on Oreos, Twinkies, Doritos, and other snack foods. The economy would boom!
But anyway, yes, that article is a little ridiculous. Our culture is becoming similar to the Japanese culture where their personal life is highly influenced by their job. The people they hang out with, the places they eat.. it's the norm to have it closely tied to your job life. Sickens me...
