Good....Less kids will become addicted. No conservative should support smoking.
Hey, I have an idea, let’s tax sex. Just think STDs are running rampant, you can get HIV/AIDs, genital warts that lead to cancer and that’s just heterosexual sex.
You say that would be ridiculous? How would they enforce it? The same way they enforce all the other big brother stupidy, badly. Only really, really honest people and pregnant women will admit that they had sex. The others will lie, cheat and steal and most people who want to will have sex.
Yeah.
Conservatives should support any initiative where the government dictates what we should and shouldn't do. Go, Nanny State! :eyeroll:
Screw you a**s H**le. I hope your trim and lean no fat butt doesn’t drink or ever eat MacDonalds cause your next.
I tell you this, people are actually going to die because of this stupidity. Now they won’t need to rob for money, Just tobacco. In case you aren’t paying attention a $1.00 a lb pack of Bugler is going to $26. So you can’t roll your own. Here cigs are going from 27.00 a carton to almost 60.
You are going to see more violent crime. You think people will just quit because the become expensive? They would have quit already if they could have.
You make me sick. You are going to agitate the people at the bottom of the social ladder who already feel entitled steal whatever you own. Go ahead, give them another reason to steal from you. I hope they find your house before mine.
You are no conservative you are a damned fascist. I am more than a little ticked off about this. Slime like you cause this to crap to happen. Wait till they come for you jerk wad.
I beg to differ, Drango. I am as conservative as they come, and I smoke. I am 65, started when it was “fashionable”, and do not think one’s political views have anything to do with one’s personal choice to smoke.
Did you know that smoking reduces your chance of getting Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s by 50%? My mom (non-smoker) died of Alzheimer’s last year. My beloved husband (non-smoker) now is dying of Parkinson’s.
I view all smoking “statistics” with suspicion. What demographic were these studies carried out on, have these studies ruled out “correlation” so that they are sure of “cause and effect”? Have they ruled out genetics?
The WHO ruled out second hand smoke being a factor, and why doesn’t that study get published? True conservatives take a look at the basic information, assess their individual risk factors, and make a decision based on their own circumstances.
I have no desire to live to be 100. I am just doing my part to save social security for those of you who do.
