What about making tobacco a drug?

You printed the article about smoking (by Staff Writer James Roberts). Well, how about making tobacco a drug same as marijuana and all the dope that brings in billions of dollars yearly? Alcohol drinks are very bad, too.

Campbellsville would not even be where we are today. Farmers depended on tobacco to pay off their bills and equipment. Today, in these times people get all doped up, with dope of all kinds. They get drunk, come home, spend their money, beat up their wife and children. Now the peddlers are selling dope to school children.

Alcohol will cause serious damage and increase blood pressure and brain damage. So, OK, make tobacco a drug. Make it illegal to grow tobacco. See what the people will say.

We the people, the employer. We hire the employee and are the paymaster. We will not stand for lies and secrets.
