I hope I can get away with one off-topic question which I'd like the answer to. My question is why governments (like US for example) haven't banned the sale of cigarettes. If they care about the health and well-being of society it would be a good idea. Why is it that many less problematic drugs are banned from sale by the FDA but the government allows cigarettes to be sold? I understand that cigarettes are not a product the FDA rules on. Am I not mistaken that if evaluated by FDA standards cigarettes would be banned? The FDA bans products that do good if risks of bad effects are high enough. Smoking does no good and has high risks.
