Question

risk of getting cancer and the Nicotine part of tobacco products are attributed to addiction, not cancer, then the main culprit has to be tobacco. It is the common denominator in tobacco products that remains constant. Why has this product not been re-called? There is more than enough evidence and documentation that clearly states that this product is harmful, deadly and addictive. If tobacco were used in any other product, there would have been an instant recall. Why on earth is tobacco allowed to still be accessible, affordable, convenient, and accepted when it causes more death and destruction than all of the items the FDA and CPSC have re-callled combined? Does anyone know of a reason that tobacco should not fall under the stipulation set forth that trigger an instant re-call in some products? Is it because death is not within a couple of hours, days-weeks? I was not aware that re-calls only took place if a product caused harm or death withing a specified period of time

Answer 1

Tobacco dealers patronize politicians who are responsible to bring in legislation to re call it. So I believe.

Answer 2

I think the true reason is that the State and Federal Governments both can't afford to ban tobacco products.  They are making so much money off of tobacco it is like they hit the lottery.  On top of this is the fact that recalling all tobacco products wouldn't stop people from using them.  They would just go underground like liquor during prohibition. It is also very addictive and is killing thousands of people too. It would be sold on the street the same way as pot and other drugs.  These are very much against the law and it has slowed down the use of drugs very little. All of the money from drugs are going to the illegal growers and drug dealers instead in the government's pockets. I don't know what the answer is, but it is getting very expensive to smoke and more and more uncomfortable to smoke in public.  Maybe people will start getting the message, but I doubt it.
