Petition Prohibit the manafacture and commercial distribution of cigarettes within the UK

Ever hour around the world, 800 people die as a result of the most lethal human creation - cigarettes. These small paper rolls kill more people on average around the globe than AK47's

So why is it so ironic that countries prohibit smoking in public but still allow toxic tobacco manufacturing ?

More details

There are more than 4 million hectares of deforestation for cigarette fuels and paper wrapping.

This industry kills 7 million people ever year

So why can we as humans not recognise that this substance would be better off if completely irradicated. Why is it seen as though the manafacturers care more about their profits than the health of people around the globe.

And unfortunately, "smoking kills" just isn't enough.
