Salmonella is serious enough to close down factories, farms, or even stop imports, because it make hundreds of people ill or maybe even cause death.

But there is something out there that is killing millions of people all over the world, and yet it is allowed to exist. It’s allowed to kill and injure millions of innocent people who have nothing to do with this killer; they just have to be near the people they love. And all the elected officials do is tax it more.

Isn’t it time to get to the source and shut the tobacco companies down?

The farmers who grow this plant can go back to growing health food for all of us, instead of helping certain companies exist that are, in reality, “terrorist” cells. Terrorist, with the understanding of knowningly causing injury and death to people and the world around us.

Or maybe people should continue to bury their heads in the sand, and keep on taxing and keep on watching our loved ones die.

Have a nice day.
