    Yeah, let’s bring back lead in gas. And asbestos. And raising radiation exposure limits. And measles. Smallpox. In fact, let’s roll back all progress we’ve ever made to improve human health. Let’s get those 10 year olds back into the coal mines and smoking unfiltered cigarettes.

      Actually, filtered cigarettes have been said to be worse in some articles I’ve seen.

      As you said above though, unadulterated natural tobacco should always be available to people who have a cultural connection with it and can prepare it traditionally. Take away the cool factor and the chemical-laden stuff could hopefully be phased out. Education campaigns can also talk about the human suffering and environmental costs of production on a large scale.
