Featured is a documentary made by the Mormon Church in conjunction with the U.S. Surgeon General's office about the hazards of the use of tobacco products, which result in significantly more deaths each year than illegal drugs and AIDS. Video clip from "Alternative Views". Producer: Frank Morrow. Production Company: Alternative Information Network. News; tobacco; documentary; Tobacco, the Winnable War; Mormon Church; Surgeon General. A recent Zogby poll found that 45% of respondents support a ban on cigarettes. In practical terms, what does this mean? Not much, because public officials -- swimming in money from the tobacco lobby, and not wishing to alienate the 45 million Americans who identify as smokers --certainly won't put an end to the cigarette industry. Does anyone else find it odd that when 45% of Americans support banning cigarettes, 42% support banning abortion, and 39% support a federal ban on same-sex marriage, the highest-polling ban is the only one that hasn't produced any referendums? More than 400,000 deaths in the U.S. alone each year are from smoking related illnesses. Why would someone even pick up a cigarette without considering the effects it will have on him or her? Cigarettes should be illegal because cigarettes are a powerful and addicting drug that are very harmful to the people who smoke them, the people who inhale second hand smoke, and the environment. Drugs are bad for anyone who smokes them. A Cigarette is a type of drug. Cigarette smoke contains 4,000 chemical constituents and more than 40 of them are known to cause cancer in humans. Some experts say that it's usually not the nicotine that kills but these other chemicals. A few of these chemicals are cadium, a highly poisonous metal that is also used to make batteries, formaldehyde which is used to preserve dead bodies, and lead which is a highly toxic metal. Some studies say that the nicotine in cigarettes is as addictive as cocaine and heroin, which leads to the theory of why it is so hard for addicts to stop. With all these deadly chemicals, why would someone even think of smoking cigarettes? These 4,000 deadly chemicals are more than enough evidence to make cigarettes illegal. The most addicting chemical is nicotine. Co-hosts: Frank Morrow and Doug Kellner. Researcher: Mike Jankowski. Technical adviser: Brian Koenigsdorf.
