Smoking does indeed make sense. This is a Free Nation and a nation whose first trade crops were tobacco, and until recently were the "Gold Crops" of many smaller farmers. Now we must buy the leaf from other countries. We let special interest take that FREEDOM of choice away from many Americans...it was never about health, it was and is always about control and trade. A Free Nation is a nation of Armed Citizens...smoking is just one little window that ill-informed people jumped at and took away that choice...it was soooooo easy, it makes you shiver at how easy it was to inflame a nation and trample the rights of others.

I don't think it fits. My opinion, of course, but I think he should focus on the 2d Amendment and not divide attention with another subject, such as smoking and tobacco.
Maybe we can offer an amendment. LOL. :>)
