Pros and Cons of Tobacco Use?I am doing a debate for my environmental science class and the topic I got was "Should advertising, selling, and use of tobacco be banned?" The stance I was given was "yes". Does anyone have any arguments I could give and ideas of what my opponent may say? I will probably look up consequences of tobacco use but apart from that I don't know too much about it. Thanks in advance!

smoking kills you... cite the difference for life insurance if you are a smoker as proof. smoking has no positive effects other then to make money for big tobacco companies.
smoking also makes you smell, wastes about $ 5-$ 7 a day, check out www.truth.org for some great info on why smoking is so horrible

Pros:
--It feels good.
--You don't gain weight.
--It looks cool.
--They created some really neat commercials in the 1950s through most of the 1960s but most of the actors died because of smoking.
Cons
--The cost.
--A slow and agonizing death from any of the associated cancers with tobacco usage.
--Smoking a cigarette, falling asleep and burning the house down. This happened last week to a girl I know. He did not make it out. And, it's being reported that he did not die immediately. Can you image a worse way to die than having the house burn down about you and knowing you can't get out? And, then to have it collapse about you with the burning embers? Enough said.
