Substance abuse has been and continues to be a major health issue regarding the citizens of the United States of America. Many addictive drugs (such as heroine, cocaine, and meth) are illegal. The only drugs with addictive properties are administered by health care professionals. However, nicotine is an addictive drug that is legally sold. This is hypocrisy. The sale of nicotine and tobacco products should be banned in the United States of America. Numerous studies have proven the health problems associated with the consumption of nicotine and tobacco and the fact that it is sold legally is infuriating! Nicotine's addictive properties result in multiple repurchases of the product, ensuring a tight, controlling grip on its victims. Stop the hypocrisy! Ban nicotine and tobacco!
