Should ALL tobacco products be illegal?

More than 150,000 Americans die of COPD each year which is 1 death every 4 minutes. COPD is one the biggest issues if you are or ever were a smoker. It can cause many different types of cancers like cancers of the mouth and throat, voice box, esophagus, stomach, etc. It is very dangerous and very harmful to you and your body.

 

Smoking can even affect the people around you due to secondhand smoke which can cause them to be at risk of many diseases such as coronary heart disease and even a stroke. Some people who live with other people who smoke get that secondhand smoke smell which can give you confidence issues and lead people to judge you. 

 

There is no risk-free level of secondhand smoke, and even brief exposure can cause immediate harm. As a person exposed to secondhand smoke and had family members pass away from COPD. I have seen how much it can affect you my grandma has COPD and she has to walk around everywhere carrying an oxygen tank.  I personally think that ALL tobacco products should be illegal.
