Tobacco

If you think about it, more people use tobacco than anyother drug. I'm not sure if it should be legal or not. Of course, tobacco causes health problems. People who do use are at risk for oral cancer, black gums, different mouth diseases, and all those various juices from the tobacco can harm the rest of the system. Tobacco can give the person a sensational feeling of relaxation from the dopamine. The person smoking tobacco can seem cool physically and socially. the person could be the most relaxed person in the group and act cool. I think if they outlawed this drug, more people would be affected and more outraged. Like Molly Giewant said, it would be like another Prohibition. It's very hard for someone to quit the tobacco chewing and smoking. Too many people are already addicted to it. So should we legalize it, no. But we shouldn't outlaw it either.
