You,ve got that right,a state full of loonies.

Yesterday's Globe also had an article on how they are going after people who avoid cig taxes by using the internet.They are actually going to the delivery companies for lists of their customers.This state is getting as bad as the Soviet Union.

Gays will be able to get married in May,but God help the poor smoker who wants to go out for an evening and smoke in a restaurant where the owner allows it.

It's not just the state of Massachusetts. There is federal legislation under consideration right now that would ban any kind of cigarette purchases by mail order.

It, my friend, is all about money. You think the States care whether anyone smokes or not? Nah, they just want to pass a law that allows them to tax/fine something/someone so they get more money! If they were so concerned about smoking, I think the government would have a) banned smokes a long time ago, or b) forced the tobacco companies to make safer smokes!
