Surgeon General: Smoking causes more deaths than the combined causes of HIV, illegal drug use, alcohol consumption, motor vehicle accidents, and firearms, killing more than 480, 000 Americans each year  As opposed to nonsmokers, smokers are two-to-four times more likely to suffer from heart disease and twenty-five times more likely to develop lung cancer  Nevertheless, the United States is founded on the principle of liberty and free market business  If Americans want to smoke, they should be free to do so, and if a market exists, businesses should be able to meet that demand
The most we can possibly do is educate Americans about the risks of smoking
Protecting some principles is more important than health.
