>>You support the addiction of 95% smokers who start under the age of 21? Sorry I don’t.<<
Unlike you, I support their freedom to choose and the freedom of their parents to teach them properly (I also note you did not answer my questions).
Are you sure you are on the right site? DU and KOS are 2 clicks to the left.
There is no room for you Nanny Staters here at FREE Republic.

Is there anyone over the age of five who doesn’t know that tobacco is addictive and dangerous?
The freedom comes when you pick up the first cigarette. You make a non-addictive decision to do so.
Not only is it freedom, it comes with the individual responsibility for your action.
Those of you who want to government to protect you, can pay for it yourself.

I support free people, freely voting. Sorry you don’t.Mob rule was never intended to be a part of the fabric of this country.

I favor a tax on all those who favor the tax. Make that a double.

Addicting children isn’t a conservative value.

The quarrel is not with the legality of the process, but the morality of the legislation.

Why no huge tax on alcohol?
I don't smoke but it seems unfair to tax cigs so extravagantly and not alcohol
Alcohol causes just as much more deaths than cigs- plus all the distruction and heartbreak.

are more people smoking than ever, or is just that they’ve all been forced out onto the sidewalk?

careful there, homey — that’s sacred ground, and it’s probably connected to the Kennedy’s.

Your words.Guns, tobacco, Sugar Babies, gasoline, tires, Fudgesicles, Twinkies, travel, "unnecessary" indoor or outdoor living space, political activism, religious affiliation, news browsing, sex between consenting adults,Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, shooting ranges, seat belts, ad nauseum.
Give it up, Drango.

There is no freedom in addiction. You should work to ban it then. To do otherwise is hypocritical.

I suggest most California conservatives would at this point sooner nuke Sacramento from orbit than vote it another penny.

I propose both. Nuking Sacto and taxing cigarettes. It’s a win/win.

You’re out of luck: nuclear arms have been overtaxed and are too expensive for anybody to buy one.
