$5.39 per pack of 20 isn't very expensive.

I do NOT object to the use of tobacco as the American Indians still sometimes use it, as part of their ceremonies, "passing the pipe around" to encourage community and a sense of peace. I do object to people putting additional chemicals (menthol, potassium nitrate, etc.) into the tobacco.

If it is kept for special functions and ceremonies, fine. But like so much else it's been abused, abused, abused and we know pay the price. All of us, not just those who still smoke.
