Hawaii is considering a bill that bans cigarette sales to anyone under 100
CNN ^ | February 4, 2019 | Ryan Prior

(CNN)"The legislature finds that the cigarette is considered the deadliest artifact in human history."

So begins the text of a new bill introduced in Hawaii's State House, calling for a phased ban on cigarette sales in the state by 2024.

Hawaii has some of the most restrictive cigarette laws in the nation. In 2016, it became the first state to raise the age to buy cigarettes to 21. Now, its new bill calls for raising the cigarette-buying age to 30 by next year, up to 40, 50 and 60 in each subsequent year, and up to 100 by 2024.

That would effectively clear Hawaii's store shelves of cigarettes, although tourists could still bring them in.

And curiously, Hawaii would offer its centenarians the chance to buy cigarettes near the end of their life -- if they could find them.

Marijuana, of course, will be widely available to anybody in Junior High School or older.

“I believe this would badly affect tourism.”


A tourist will just pack them and bring them in for their vacation.

It sounds to me like the ‘RAT politicians are trying to move all the voters away from tobacco and over to recreational “medical marijuana”. The Russkis have to be behind this.

most smokers don’t die from cancer. So it’s not very ‘deadly’ for being ‘deadly’

the globalists figured out a while ago that the US could not be deafeated in an outright war. So, they decided to turn our youth, our future soldiers, into sexually confused psychotics who are ineligible for most federal jobs or security clearances since pot is still federally illegal. A populace of the mentally ill is an easy populace to defeat.

Excessive alcohol consumption by a 19 year old Hispanic kid named Cruz Alejandro Martinez (who I now suspect was an illegal) resulted in the death of my brother back in October 2001 in California......Not cigarettes.

Funny how these holier than tho nico nazis don't give a thought to banning alcohol which has been the greatest destroyer of lives and families than tobacco has since it was first discovered........

Age, but those who proposed and/or wrote this Bill have an IQ 30-40 points lower than 100!

Yes, I blame this all on Gary Cooper.

When are they planning on outlawing Mohammadanism and leftism, as they are far more deadly than cigarettes ?
