Petition text:
WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, CALL ON THE USA TO ELIMINATE THE SALE OF CIGARETTES, NOT ONLY TO MINORS OR JUVENILES, BUT TO ALL HUMAN BEINGS.

"Cigarettes are proven to be highly addictive, as well as a cause of multiple types of cancer, heart disease, respiratory disease, circulatory disease and birth defects.[1][2]

A cigarette is distinguished from a cigar by its smaller size, use of processed leaf, and white paper wrapping. Cigars are typically composed entirely of whole-leaf tobacco.

Cigarettes contain nicotine, an addictive stimulant. They deliver smoke to the lungs immediately and produce a rapid psychoactive effect[citation needed]. This aspect of their use is both part of what makes them popular and what makes them highly addictive"(WIKIPEDIA).

THEY SERVE ABSOLUTELY NO PURPOSE, AND HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN PROVEN TO BE LINKED TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF MOUTH, LUNG AND THROAT CANCER. CIGARETTES ARE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE AND EVEN HAVE NUMEROUS UNKNOWN CHEMICALS IN THEM.

IF SOMETHING IS BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION TO BE UNHEALTHY, OR DEADLY WHY STILL MARKET IT?? PROFIT??

PLEASE SIGN BELOW IF YOU AGREE WITH WHAT'S STATED ABOVE, AND HELP ME CREATE A SMOKE FREE FUTURE!
