Now try rereading this essay, but in place of “tobacco” fill in the words “big soda pop.”
Then, for absolute veracity, reread it filling in the words, “Whatever Mayor Bloomberg feels he doesn’t like.”
America in the Twenty-first Century.
I suggest a minimum IQ to hold political office.
Bloomberg is a control freak. It is a personality disorder. He needs to seek help. (I hope he doesn’t have any guns since he is mentally imbalanced and all....)
Starting the countdown till the resident “CONSERVATIVE” (you know, those folks who profess to adhere to the constitution on matters of personal rights) nico-nazi’s join in...........
Don't liberals want to do just that?
Replace "tobacco companies" with Planned Parenthood and see what they say.....
The problem is that too many people want the gov’t to be parent. Smoking, drinking porn, drugs, crappy food—the whole lot. Can’t people make up their minds not to do something even though it may not be banned or made illegal or some kind of a restriction put on it by the state?
Lots of propaganda ads against smoking featuring gruesome vids going on these days. I wonder why the pro-life, aka ANTI-ABORTION, groups aren't allowed to air the same type of ad campaigns?..........I know, dumb question.
[[public officials walk a blurry line when they try to reduce smoking’s terrible toll.]]
They don’t weaqlk ANY line- they jumped clean across any line a long time ago and no logner care whether what they do is legal or constitutional or not- they are blatantly givign American citizens the middle finger because they learned that American will do NOTHING to prevent htem from vioalting our rights
Time to ban newspapers, altogether!
Before any of you bleeding heart smoker haters jump me, I don't smoke, but won't tell others they can't. Their business!
Being a faggot shortens your lifespan more than smoking.
Ok Doomberg...I call you on cigarettes and raise you voting until 21 years of age.
Further, I will re-raise your over 21 voters to land owner voters.
So if high tobacco taxes discourage smoking, what do high income taxes do?
What number is homosexual sodomy? When is this jagov going to ban it?
Cigarette smugglers rejoice.
I was making a similar argument at work today with some nanny stater lovers. If an 18 year old isn’t responsible enough to make a personal decision such as smoking or having a beer, why do we let them vote for things affecting the entire nation?
Of course I know the answer. This enables the dems to win more elections due to the easily swayed age group coming from the mass indoctrination centers we commonly call schools and universities. It’s easy to convince young adults to vote for a seemingly Utopian society when they have no clue it can never happen.
I had a smoke nazi try to tell me his best BFF died of prostate cancer because he smoked. I said he was either using his butt as an ashtray, or they were engaged in what some might call, non-traditional whoopee. Thought I was gonna have to leave a mark on the poofster to get him to calm down. Jeez they’re touchy.
Plan B for every female child!
Just don’t wash it down with a big soda or have a cig after sex.
In other news, my tobacco is growing great in the garden. ;)
