Yes, you are certainly correct. He did say he would sign one if it were sent to him. I'm just saying that as far as I can determine it's not actually true, (as many people are claiming), that Huckabee has "called for a national smoking ban".
By the way, have any of the other Republican candidates to date promised they would veto a national smoking ban if one were sent to them as President?
Mr. Huckabee also stated in that interview that it took the chief executive’s (his) personal involvement to get it done. I have not heard any other GOP candidate say that they would veto or be in favor of such national legislation, nor have I heard them being asked. I am taking the position that they have not been asked, because I believe we surely would have heard about it since we are living in this time with the internet and the 24-hour news cycle. The bottom-line is that he said he is in favor of it and he would sign it, and his record indicates it and cannot be disputed. We in Ohio are living under this type of legislation and there are a lot of unhappy people here.
