    Deaths from Smoking: 440,000 annual deaths each year are smoking-associated in the U.S. (CDC)

    I think the worldwide number is over 8 million

    Aren't you partially responsible?

    no more than a cow farmer is responsible for obesity.

    i guess either farmer is slightly responsible, but i certainly wouldn't put the blame on either one.

    Yeah. You're simply giving something to the world that could be useful/enjoyable. It's not really your fault that people sorta lack self-control.

    We used to raise tobacco.
    And, maybe I'm wrong, but natural tobacco probably isn't what's causing all of those deaths....just the souped up cancer sticks the cigarette companies are making. Tobacco farmers don't lace the leaves with tar and formaldehyde.

    If you live, aren't you partly responsible of the destruction of the Earth?

    That is my final answer. I know it is very deep, so take your time to think about it.

    Umm tobbacco is way more bad for your health and dangerous than cars. People just need to learn how to drive better. They should also make it harder to get a liscence.

    nicotine doesnt cause cancer. the inhaling of smoke is what causes cancer.

    http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/33023.php

    my personal opinion is that the chances of cancer are greatly increased by the amount of chemicals you are inhaling with a commercially made cigarette.

    and studies have shown,no difference in the risk of cancer between tobacco and marijuana..

    Yeah, I was under the preconception that tobacco is relatively safe grown organically and everything. It's just absolutely wretched once the big companies get their hands on it.
