Perhaps, but I tend to think that won't happen. More likely, the cig companies will be forced to list all of their ingredients, and there may be stricter controls on sales to minors. Bear in mind that Jesse Helms is a major supporter of this buyout legislation, and he of all people would never agree to legislation which would lead to the outlawing of cigarettes.
there may be stricter controls on sales to minors There always has been a law to when someone could buy cigarettes. In Ohio, it was 18. Maine, the same.
And any store that sells cigarettes to minors deserve all they get! How stupid can anyone be to sell to minors?
Also, a lot of parents buy cigarettes for their underage teens, and this is no one's business.
