Yaawwwnnnn. Cigarette smoking diminishes fitness. It’s common sense that we should want our troops to be as fit as possible.
PS: I like Duncan Hunter a lot. He rocks.
I smoked while I served. Never was an issue.
A lot of my pals never smoked until they were deployed. They all did an absolutely excellent job doing what they did.
Are you in favor of our heroes doing their jobs while suffering the forced prohibition of nicotine, and the increased distractions that it causes?
Possibly making them less effective while performing their constitutional duties just so you can feel better about yourself and your coveted control over their lives?
