Take taxes off cigarettes in CA bringing the price down back to $5 a pack.

We the Californians are defacto on manufactering and distribution better quality tobacco and the reduction of taxes. (kill us at a high priced) tobacco products /cigarettes is your population control with it being one of the leading causes of premature death in America. If we have the technology to study cancer, why would we not study how to manufacture tobacco products with just as much attention. The root of the problem is in the smoking majority of the time. Nicotine (smokeless) in the form of topical patches that adhere to the skin have scientific evidence concluding that the chemical compounds in nicotine are beneficial to neurodegenerative cognitive illness such as Parkinson's and alziemers disease. Nicotine itself is not the reason for carcinogenic cause to blame, but it is the smoke and other form especially by route of inhalation (first or second hand) will certainly cause Cancer. If used correctly, nicotine has the power to sort out neurotransmitters within the brain that nearly eliminate further neurodegeneration in the elder population. FDA should regulate the tobacco agency in omitting chemical compounds that motivate carcinogenicity development in the human genome (ex. American Spirits tobacco is all natural grown tobacco) the taxes on cigarettes were meant to pay for a portion of medi-cal insurance, but if done correctly we would not need the taxes to be that high nor should such product be like legally harmful towards it's population. Un wanted additive that cause the addiction need to me analyized. Companies such as Rj Reynolds tobacco company in Winston Salem NC 27102 USA can come up with a product that is less harmfully addicting like a single house hold having their own cigarette packing machine without the burst or crush effect (which have probed to be a new addiction in itself) packing or rolling your own cigarettes like bugals does can reduce cost as well as environmental harm that excess packaging and distribution that is currently used to. A cleaner tobacco product line needs to be enforced this will extend our nation's lifespan and ensure safer smoking, safer use for all 18+, legal aged consumers. We have the technological capacity to do what is right for our health economy and our environment, so lets do it. Let's be heard, thanks for your support!
