It saddens me how this sitr is full of people who actually do not want a Free Republic.

I don’t like cigarette smoke either but I’d fight for the rights of other Americans to pursue their own happiness.

Our laws come in when one’s rights impinge others’ and I’m good with intelligent people making rational compromises.

But this country should remain true to freedom as much as possible. It’s not freedom if people can only do what YOU like.

How comfortable are you with the fact that: "Nearly 90 percent of adult smokers began smoking before age 18,"

Seriously, it isn't a conservative value to turn kids into addicts.

You (not individual you, the royal you) reduce the teen smoking/addiction numbers and I'll begin to listen to your adult rights.
