Tobacco

The FDA, in my opinion, should be able to regulate tobacco. I mean, how many stores have you been in that you don't notice the cigarette displays, or how about those cigar displays that are at children's eye levels? I mean seriously, how about making certain height requirements for those dosplays to be at? Or maybe even making it harder to buy and sell tobacco, period? There are 1200 people that die every day due to tobacco related illnesses, whether it be from smoking, or taking in the second hand smoke that their smoking friends and/or family produces. That fact should scare the FDA enough to take action of this subject, and hopefully will in the near future. I would love to hear feedback about this because a lot of my friends smoke, and unoftunately I have to smell it and breathe on an almost daily basis, which almost makes me sick. This entry may have sounded very girly and informal, but what's the fun of being formal, and normal sounding? Not much.
