Forced Debate

The reason I sat on this site is simple. I believe that people have the option to choose for themselves. Cigarettes are harmful, they cause cancer, and cause problems with pregnancy if the mother smokes or is exposed to smoke. Everyone knows this. Parents teach their kids this. Schools and society in general teach this. But once the person has the option to buy them for themselves, be my guest. Even if they are underaged, it is their choice. Would i let my kids smoke? Not necessarily. I would let them choose for themselves, just like everyone chooses for themselves.
