Age restriction doesn’t work. More than 80% of smokers started smoking before age 18.

Pretty soon the only thing that 18 is going to be used for is the draft.

And of course the politicians in Sacramento will complain that the tax revenues that fund programs “fo’ duh chidrens” are going down. OH that’s right, just raise the taxes on cigarettes again.
To: Organic Panic
everytime the state goes on a no smoking..binge....it seems to coincide with yet another tax increase.

Does that apply to weed, too, or will they pass a law that everyone over the age of 14 has to smoke dope?
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
And it will be dealt with the same way that all other forms of prohibition are dealt with; through a vibrant and profitable black market.
I hope they pass the law. Its that much less in tax revenue that the state of Califiornication will collect.

Don't ever kid yourself....When they ask for proof....it's not about how old you are...it's about tracking you.
I'm 71 and still get asked.

Why do liberals think legislation is some magical elixir to solve all our problems?

This will stop the 13 year-olds I see smoking on the corner every day.
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Fair enough....the smoking age *and* voting age goes up to 21.Or even 30.
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Imagine being 20 years old and ticketed/summoned/arrested for smoking...
Add that you are in the Military...
Judge: ‘You’d be OK, Boy, if you were just smoking pot and having sodomy with a fellow Military man in public - but here in San Francisco we take the evilness of cigarette smoking seriously.’

Don’t think it will work to discourage smoking. However a tax increase would work. Econ 101.
