Rejected petition Ban or tighten the laws against the use and manafacture of all tobacco products
Every hour around the world, 800 people are killed due to the first of the four most destructive human inventions to date. Cigarettes outrank the deaths from Atomic bombs and dynamite yet the only contribution to try to stop this is the barely noticed "smoking kills" prints on the boxes.
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
Why is it so ironic that countries prohibit smoking in public but still allow toxic tobacco manufacturing ?

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure whether you want a ban on all tobacco products, or whether you want a ban on the manufacturing of tobacco products in the UK. We're also not sure what you mean by "tighten the laws".
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
