I am for any bill that makes it harder for children to smoke cigarettes.

Only parents can make it harder for children to smoke cigarettes. Would you like the state to take over parenting also?

That is simply not true. Several forces can make it harder to smoke cigarettes in addition to parents. Government or the manufacturer can make it more difficult for children to smoke cigarettes by raising the price of the product. If they chose, Government could even make it more difficult by outlawing the product altogether, such as the case with drugs.

I do think Government has a responsibility to protect its youth from a product that undeniably causes cancer and other health risks and provides no benefit to the user. That's why drugs are outlawed. Would you like the state to legalize drugs?

So true.  Read my post #25.
