We've mitigated the secondhand risks to the general public, via wide bans on smoking in restaurants and bars, and sticking the outdoor ash-tower-thingies waaaaaay over there away from the entrance.

Really, the only places you can smoke anymore are your own car and house, where your kids pretty much have to be. Way to go with that.

Companies everywhere will risk us getting cancer to save a few bucks on their end. At least with cigarettes, it's straight forward now. Funny how this didn't do more damage tho.

Not the companies' fault, but yours being the parent.

They're a business and they're going to sell it to you. Same as McDonald's and beer companies.

Because people enjoy them?

If you don't want to smoke, then don't...some people really love tobacco.

I kind of agree with this, since you can no longer ruin everyone else's time in public establishments. But you can still get shitty parents that push the health affects onto you without your concent.

Because if you make them illegal, people will still smoke, and will get them from the black market. Better they be legal, regulated, and taxed.
