The use of tobacco products not only harms innocent by-standers, but it pollutes our environment and should be declared illegal. Another reason that tobacco products should be made illegal is the fact that they are drugs. The use of any tobacco product has similarities to the use of drugs. It is not so much that they alter your mind, but more of how you lose control over the use of the product. Tobacco products change the metabolism in your body, often causing weight gain after an attempt to stop use.
Tobacco is also very addictive.
It is not something that you can just quit one day because you are bored with it or sick of spending money on it. In order to stop the use of these products, there is a physical and mental addiction that must be dealt with. Although stopping is possible, there is some type of withdraw that has to be dealt with. Usually the symptoms include an uncontrollable craving, becoming very touchy and tired, and most times there is a tendency to gain weight. In spite of all this, there are still people that think that it is their right to smoke if they want to.
