You brought up a good point in this post.
"just seems a bit sad that they can't separate the Republican/Conservative beliefs just because they hate smokers."
Anyone, who demands legislation be brought forth that basically, at it's core destoys private property-rights , causes more TAXATION, and destroys freedom of choice regarding a LEGAL product, IS NO CONSERVATIVE.
Now, they might be a republican, but they are no conservative.
They can squall all day long how conservative they are, but I ain't buying their BS anylonger.
And there you have it! I now know where RINO'S/CINO'S are coming from!
