According to scientists at the National Institutes of Health, tobacco and alcohol are both associated with addiction and numerous serious mental and physical health issues.
Given the extreme number of fatalities yearly as a direct result of alcohol or tobacco usage (tobacco accounts for 90% of lung cancer cases in the US; alcohol results in over 22,000 deaths annually), as well as the Obama administration's approach to reducing the potential harm caused by marijuana, we the people believe the time has come to create and enforce anti-tobacco and anti-alcohol laws similar to those currently enforced relating to marijuana.
