Rock On, Nanny State!
Tell the wookie to mind her own business.
She needs to get her husband in line before attacking our kids.
Is this what makes African-American women so fat? Since they are the highest pecentage of the morbidly obese, why not concentrate on whatever it is that makes them that way.
Besides their burning addiction to entitlements.
I hope the pro smoking ban freepers are happy.. They said it will stop at Cigarettes...
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
More creative robbery by our wonderful government.

Once it’s taxed more, people will quit buying it ... then the projected revenues will drop.
In our family, DH and I are the pop drinkers at work (farm and factory) But at home it’s nice to have water, milk or sweet tea.
Personally I have cut down on pop and I’m drinking more tea.. That is a choice that I choose to make... No more nanny state!!!!!
How about the people who think it's utterly daft?
Don’t you just love “control freaks?”
Boy, there are sure some knuckleheads in the comments at the article.
How many Freepers actually are pro smoking ban? I know there are lots of Freepers who believe that smoking isn't good for you, or makes you stink, but I doubt if you'll find many in favor of a ban.
Good for you.
I have always chosen tea (hot and cold) and lemonade, simply due to carbonation.
If our media weren't so lefty-liberal and love taxes (more money for the gub'mint to spend on "worthy" causes), they just might question the wisdom of using taxes as a way to "spank" the taxpayer.
Find an article here and you will find people supporting the ban..
The key is moderation..
I'm stealing that line.
No doubt!
Can’t wait for the coming fat taxes too!
I’ll be vaping my e-cigs drinking homemade sweet tea lmao.
As a teenager I was so scrawny, I used to go to Golds Gym and drink Weider Weight gainer shakes trying desperately to pack on pounds.
What a great country my parents came to....our biggest “problem” is that kids have too much to eat. God bless America!
When these libs go to heaven, or better yet if you are a Hindu they are reincarnated....they will be reincarnated as a hungry Ethiopian or kid from Bangladesh who would club these nannies over the head with a stone and steal their Big Mac extra value meal.

Nanny State of Liberals.
Schadenfreude is not a healthy thing.
But I can’t blame you, I feel the same way.
We’re human.
Taxes are always fat.
Michele is not ugly. She is attractive.
If I weren’t married, I would hit it.
(Oh jeez, the secret service is going to be all over me now....hey guys I am just kidding. I meant it as a compliment.)
I just don’t know what you are supposed to do with her for the other 22 hours of the day when she speaks.
Yeah I know but I’m going to anyway :)
Heck - Washington States governor is dabbling with 1 cent an ounce tax on bottled water.....
How do you like them apples?
It never stops.....
I only drink diet cola.
Thanks for the ping!
If we didn’t have government providing health insurance for kids (S-CHIP and who knows what state programs), this wouldn’t be a problem.
But, as Eric has pointed out before, once the state starts providing for people’s health care, why shouldn’t the taxpayer insist on ideas to lower health care costs, such as taxing sugary beverages?
(Boy - that sounds like D.C. with the healthcare vote too!)
We could tax Hollywood for making us watch that crap. On second thought, I approve of this tax ...
We could subsidize sports such as golf or curling ... to get us off the couch.
To solve all our problems we could tax Samoans at a higher rate.
Just another dumb idea from a politician seeking air time.
Is tea really THAT healthy? Why tea? Maybe we should all be drinking water and nothing but water. And dry hardtack bread. Anything more is immoral.
Pikers.
Make it a buck an ounce and I’m with ya.
>.I doubt if you’ll find many in favor of a ban.
A majority, I dare say. But pretty much moot at this point.
It’s human nature, if the govt does something we are in favor of, then it’s OK. Many conservatives refuse to see the logic of tobacco bans being applied to all facets of our lives, using the same arguments.
Situational Conservatism. He.
Amen, brother.
It will stop at..........nothing.
It will never stop.
