"We must consider the health of young people because of the damage smoking does to the body, as well as the long-term financial considerations because of the high cost of medical care for people who have cancer or emphysema."Don't you love it? All politicians know the evils of smoking but they are afraid to ban smoking altogether. Government sues tobacco companies because their product causes illness and death, but I've never figured out why smokers don't sue government who makes it legal for them to buy a product that government readily admit kills people.

While we're at it, let's move the voting age back up to 21. Oh, that's right, then the Dems would lose the MTV vote. Never mind. /sarc

There are rumors going around that Jersey is going to ban smoking in public places a al New York. Its a shame, as the bars in Hoboken and Jersey City are doing GREAT business right now.

"In terms of age, it is very hard to tell the difference between a person who is 16, 17 or 18. Making the age 21 would make enforcement easier." This is pretty stupid logic -- in terms of age, it's just as hard to tell the difference between a person who is 19, 20, or 21.
