Doesn’t he smoke? i saw this earlier on Fox News and they were saying how he has a lot of nerve lecturing others about smoking when he is a smoker.

They’re also gonna ban lollipops, pens, pencils, and any other objects that children could use to simulate smoking.

Once my son pointed his arm at another student and said “bang”, so they cut it off.

We may have a few people addicted to tobacco in this country, but we have a lot more addicted to government intervention in every aspect of our daily lives.
We should have some kind of law against that.

"The agency will be able to prohibit marketing campaigns, especially those geared toward children."
What marketing campaigns has anyone seen or heard that are geared toward children?
Notice how everything totalitarian the dictators of the Left impose on us is done under the guise of "it's for the chillun".
Filthy liars....including Obama.
And the sheeple fall for it, hook, line and stinker.

Not candy cigarettes, real cigarettes with candy or fruit flavoring.

Anybody in my age range, mid fifties, remember when you could buy Chocolate Cigarettes? As I recall, they were really yummy. Used to like those Bubble Gum Cigars as well.
Had those when I was a kid and I don't smoke. I used to have alot of toy guns as a kid, but I haven't shot anyone yet.
The population of today's United States would never endure the hardships of our Parents and Grandparents.

Can we make a Law that requires Abortion Clinics to have “Large Graphic Warnings” painted on the side of the Buildings?
More lives in this country have been lost to Abortion than Smoking, and at a much younger age.

I notice that the KYBO* tickets lately have been chaffing. Will the Beige One be looking into that matter soon? I'll be happy to give him a
close look at the results of this problem confronting Americans every day.

President Obama on Monday signed a landmark anti-smoking bill which he said will reduce the number of children who take up smoking and ultimately save American lives. If it really was about reducing the amount of children taking up smoking they would have put the age limit to purchase and possess at 21 (like alcohol).
There are only two lines in the bill that address the smoking age, in a nut shell it says they will study, withing a 5 year window, the impact on smoking rates if it age went to 21.
Raising the smoking age would cut underage smoking, what they really need to study is the impact of the tax revenue if they raised the age to 21. Tax 'em if you got 'em. Philip Morris wrote this bill.
