Old enough to fight for the Country, then one is old enough to drink, smoke, etc.

He’s doing it wrong.

Create an under 21 tax, something moderate to start and say that it will go to help the underprivileged (or some such BS)

That way, Berkey isn’t taking away any ‘freedom’ or ‘choice’, after all, just like abortion, it’s their body, their choice?

Do not get the anti-e-cig craziness. The vast, vast majority of e-cig users are former smokers using a far less toxic alternative.

I saw an article that said the CA
Senate passed a bill making it 21 for the whole state.

A liberal says it is a right to kill your baby before birth, to commit suicide with a doctor’s assistance, but illegal to enjoy a cigarette. Even more hilarious, they also ban looking like you’re smoking a cigarette.

So tell me, are they raising the age for using marijuana?

...and call murdering a two year old abortion. Because the terrible twos are, you know, terrible.

(I shouldn’t have to put on a sarcasm tag. But I will. I’m not advocating the murder of babies. So, this post is SARCASM.)

Contradictory to the recent proposal to raise taxes on cigarettes another $2/pack. Damn, no wonder California is broke, they’re also dumb as a box of rocks...

I don’t see a problem as long as you say they are too immature to smoke...the same logic should occur with being too immature to vote....too immature to get a driver’s license....too immature to get a credit card or house loan....too immature to get a $75,000 student loan...etc.

The problem is an agenda-based episode.

"...and lower the age for weed to 12."

That wouldn't surprise me.

Some leaves are more equal than others.

Smuggling cigarettes to teens will be a very lucrative business model in Bezerkley very soon

Typical. Liberals scream about freedom, and compromise another one.
