There are reasons for it to be kept legal (huge tobacco industry, individual freedom), but nothing that couldn't be applied to other substances that have been made illegal despite being arguably less harmful to the public (with cigarettes second-hand smoke is a big issue).
We have laws that forbid people from recklessly endangering their life/ the lives of others. It's been long established fact that there is direct correlation between cigarette smoking and throat / lung disease ... it's cause and effect, period. Should cigarettes be banned for good, or do we let new generations get hooked?

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
