Texas

Cornyn (R) Yes; Hutchison (R) Yes.

Wow ! What an overwhelming vote. What is driving all the GOP to this ? Even my two voted for it.

The proposal would give the FDA expanded powers to require more forceful health warnings on cigarette packs, regulate advertising, more aggressively combat underage sales and regulate ingredients to make cigarettes less harmful. It could not ban cigarettes or completely eliminate nicotine.

Well, it looks like the bill would prevent the FDA from making good on its' threat to ban cigs, eh ?

Maybe I should move to New Hampshire where there is a "Live Free or Die" attitude.2 "no" votes from NH.

After 2 weeks of no smoking in Massachusetts I haven't gone out to breakfast,something I have been doing since I retired 9 years ago.

At least I'm saving some money.

What a pit Massachusetts has become.
