A couple of years ago a bill was introduced in Delaware to fine underage smokers. The current law just punishes someone who sells cigs to kids - it is perfectly legal for kids to possess and use tobacco, they just can't buy it.

The most vocal opponents were the same culprits as is the Dakota situation.

Everyone, including the tobacco companies, was in favor of it, until the charity cartel started whining it was fair to "punish the kids because they were addicts"

I have been smoking for 40 yrs (+ or -) and yes, i know they are not good for me and yes i have tried to quit a kazillion times. These people really get my hackles up..the preach against it, but when you try to ban it altogether (which would make it much harder to get and much more expensive) they cry that it will hurt them. it just irks me....been doing a lot of research on the web about growing my own...tobacco will grow here cause i remember when i was a kid, there were folks around here that grew and cured their own.
