Ban the whole-sale and retail distribution of all commercially produced smoking and chewing tobacco.

All commercially produced tobacco products should be banned from whole-sale and retail distribution. Aside from the obvious health issues surrounding tobacco, the rising costs of health insurance and healthcare is becoming prohibitive. Tobacco products are the only products known to cause permanent health issues or death. The FDA should have banned tobacco decades ago. This proposal would allow someone to grow their own tobacco for their own personal consumption. If this country wants to see financial prosperity again, it must use common sense and prohibit what is known to be unhealthy and expensive. The statistics show this country will save billions in healthcare costs by banning tobacco products from stores of all kinds.
