Some people say that they smoke to combat cold weather. How is a product that helps to fight cold toxic? I would sell cigarettes afterall a certain company is producing it regardless.
Since I personally don't smoke, I don't think it would be easy for me to start and run a business of selling cigarettes. It is against human ethics to sell what you can't consume.

Cigarettes are not illegal and cigarettes companies are taxed by the government. But I personally can't sell it because if they buy it, they would to sit down around where they bought it and smoke.
No, I would not feel comfortable selling cigarettes. Because this is very contrary to the moral values of business that I believe in. In my opinion, cigarettes are not good for sale because they endanger the health of many people, even passive smokers are also affected. Good business moral values will not harm others.

When a product is at odds with your religious beliefs, it is better for you to desist from trading that product. It i I personally can't sell because I can't stand it.
A morally upright businessperson should always question the self on whether she would be willing to have a loved family member to use the products or services that she sells.
In the case of cigarettes, I would find it difficult to trade in these products that are dangerous to human health.

Honestly speaking as I was doing business of general store for almost two years, I used to sell so many daily used general items, there were great demand of cigarette and customers were insisting to have it but I refused all, and didn't orient my shop with this item.
As long as the companies that are producing cigarettes are still into production, I don't see any reason why I should be the one that is worried about selling it to the general public.
Honestly for me selling cigarettes is not a good idea since it causes harm to our health and it is really sad that despite of the hazard that it may cause still people are patronizing it everyday, but since the government is making money out of it that is why it is hard to stop such business.
That means you are not convinced that it is a bad thing and your stance is not bad either. Whatever would make you to sleep well selling as far as it is not illegal is truly valid.
You know that morality is subjective when it comes to certain things. For some, cigarettes is not a bad thing while to some others, it is bad. In all, any business that puts your conviction on morality to question, don't do it for your peace of mind. B
