Should cigarettes be banned?

By banned I mean illegal to sell. There is almost no good that comes from them, they pollute the air cause numerous health issues to the user and second hand smoke to people close to the user. The butts often litter the earth and ocean. They are not regulated like anything else we put in our body’s, if a food caused the medical issues cigarettes do it would immediately be pulled by FDA. The only good is the large tax they bring in.

What your opinion should cigarettes be banned? Why or why not?

* this is not meant to be a call out on smokers, I am a smoker myself and struggle to quit for years.
