Response To Christopher Naples Regulation Question

 "If government regulation looked out for our best interests then why would a product such as cigarettes and tobacco in general be allowed to be marketed, sold and profited on when it is well known to cause cancer?" -Naples

This is a sore subject for many people in regards to the obvious health risks. I feel that the reason why these products are marketed is because they are still legal to buy and sell, thus the exchange is contributing to the economy. Now as for the health risks, you need to consider that any advertisement is not suggesting to smoke a pack a day or chew a whole tin, it is up to the consumers digression to use these products in moderation. I do understand that cancer can still be prevalent  in someone who uses in moderation, but the chances are further and few between.
