Supporters of the legislation repeated estimates that every day 3,500 more young people smoke a cigarette for the first time, a figure that hit home with some younger senators

3,500 per day is a lot of children. You would like to believe conservatives would do something about it.

I agree. I think it should be illegal for minors to purchase tobacco.

This conservative does.

I support parents who teach their children right from wrong, discipline them, and teach them to not make stupid decisions about their health.

I support accurate consumer information.

Anything else is none of our damn business.
