Whatever.
I didn’t smoke my 1st cigarette until I was 27...
The Unsupreme Soviet in Sacrament is flailing at windmills... This will do no good. It will just drive the cigarette purchases underground
California Uber Alles.
Stupid.....
However, it’s California. Should I expect anything else? lol
If you have to be 21 to smoke in California, you shouldn’t be able to vote until you are 50.
It’s amazing the liberals ripoff smokers to supposedly fund programs for children, but that’s not where the money really goes, and then the same morons like meathead that sold this crap to gullible voters want to eliminate the smokers who are their cash cows.
Well except for pot. You’re free to smoke dope here anytime you want. /s
...but I can still smoke pot at eighteen right?
If you can join the Military at 18, you can Smoke at 18.
If you can Vote at 18, you should be able to Drink at 18.
That being said, I would have to be drunk to Vote for a Democrat, at any age.
No doubt California high school kids would observe a 21 smoking age as scrupulously as they do the 21 drinking age.
Why not raise the age to 35, and be REALLY sure?
“Did you really think we want those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against... We’re after power and we mean it... There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”
