The problem with you response is that it's internalized. I asked how society would view it. Today we have people that want to tell smokers where they can and can't smoke. We fund anti-smoking campaigns with tax dollars from the general fund and yet we fund cancer research with cigarette sales tax money. States have sued tobacco companies and won or settled based on medical issues that arise from smoking. If non-tobacco products were "legalized" in all 50 states would that not lead to the commercialization of such products? Might it not lead to the same cycle as the tobacco industry fell into, where over the course of 50 years smoking went from glamorized to demonized? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:287214 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
