As normal as a 15 year old girl should be. With problems relating to boys and meeting assignment deadlines, rather than the hard stuff. The kind of stuff a baby would otherwise provide to her with open arms. Unfortunately there isn’t, so we were left with the option of ending the baby’s life. This course of action was in the ...

Second, an increase in taxes wouldn’t solve the problem because people would still buy these products and get a serious elnes like cancer. For example an increase in tases won’t stop people from buying and abusing alcohol. As a consecuense of buying alcohol, inocent people could get killed by irresponsible drunk drivers. Finally, It would be unfair to raise taxes on just one suspected product. Since researchers haven’t found the real cause of cancer, it’s unfair to raise taxes just on tabacco. There are more products that may harm the health like Sweet and Low, caffein, microwaves ...
