Because primarily smoking is just suicide.
But yes, smoking is the biggest thing on the planet
You could make the same case for guns too?
Though guns and cigarettes are controllable to an extent
without imposing social distancing because they are not transmitted by airborne particles ?
It's an individual choice. That's why
If only governments and news agencies would report figures showing that x amount of people died due to smoking each day.
The shock figures atm for covid deaths are not even close to the deaths due to smoking.
Sad thing is the average age from covid-19 is probably higher than the average are to deaths by smoking.
no one chooses to have covid- 19 , i can easily not smoke. if we were to get rid of things that harm us guns would be higher up the list than cigarettes. but mustn't stamp on the americans 2nd amendment.

Smoking doesn't kill the young unless they set fire to themselves.
You can't compare the two, smoking is optional, COVID 19 isn't.

So you would rather work in an intensive care ward at the moment than take up smoking?

WTF are you talking about.I am saying the world is in lockdown over covid-19 and yet 3 times more people are dying each day due to tobacco.
Context here,tobacco has been killing millions upon millions year in year out and yet a virus that's not even close to the mortality rate has the world in standstill.
Ban tobacco NOW

How can you ask why we're in lockdown, when the numbers for Covid-19 would clearly shoot above the deaths for cigs without people staying at home?
I would have thought this was obvious...

I'm all for banning tobacco, but COVID is killing the innocent, baccy kills the stupid. I say stupid, people over a certain age could be excused for taking up smoking. Anyone under 60 has no excuse.

Just think howany covid would be killing if not for lockdown.
Because smoking takes years and years to kill you, Where this virus can kill you in a matter of days. If you had the choice of smoking for 2 weeks or have the virus. Which do you think people would choose?

Just think about how many deaths would there be if there wasn't a ban on cigarette advertising 30 or so years ago and the taxation wasn't so high.
Governments and Health agencies have known for 50 years or more what smoking cigs causes in relation to deaths and yet the've allowed firms to flog there death sticks

Before the coronovirus took off 20,000 people every day died from smoking cancer sticks and after the virus 20,000 a day still do.
After the covid-19 crisis dies down and the world gets back to some normality then surely the deaths due to tobacco has got to be looked at.
ATM there is 3 times more people dying from tobacco than covid-19 Surely that needs to be looked at
If you cannot see the difference between the two, than you need to have a lie down for a bit and then ask your mum to home school you for a bit.
Why is the World in lockdown due to a virus that's killing a third less per day than what is legally killing the populace on a daily basis.

Can you really not work this out?
Do you know the difference between a disease which affects an individual and and a virus which is contagious?
Or a persons right choice to choose life.
Are you American?
We should be careful what we wish for really. We want the stupid quota reduced in a country and smokers are doing their bit.
However moronic this sharticle is, tobacco should be banned, but its not.

Governments love the revenue it brings in, in fact choose revenue over preventing death, arguing government shouldn't dictate what vices the public engages in.

It is not mutually exclusive,Covid-19 worldwide atm is probably the 5th or 6th cause of death per day worldwide.
What I am saying is that tobacco should be banned as it kills more per day than a pandemic that has effectively killed the world and it's offspring for the next 20 years.
This pandemic is going to have the same effect as the great depression,but kill less per day than faggs have done over the last 50 years which has no effect on the economy
I agree it should be banned, but not for the reasons you are saying.
But it will never be banned, because then you need to ban alcohol, strangle seks, guns, driving a car, air pollution. Smoking is a choice, people do it out of free will, etc, it not a deadly virus.
