Just as long as they can still join the military and die for our country.(/liberalism)

I'm not a smoker so this issue doesnt affect me, but I do hope it goes through if to thoroughly upset the 18-20 year old voting smokers, who will note who it is that is saying they are too stupid to run their own lives. Yup, its the Democrats again. Maybe it will change some minds about which party to rail against.

[Kozak]

Republicans should add an amendment linking smoking age with voting age. Not old enough for one not old enough for the other.

What the states need to do is stop the ways that make smoking cool. These include but not limited to: Hollyweirdo movies, music videos, advertisements, drinking in bars and advertisements associated with it. Kids smoke because they think it's cool. Once addicted it's bloody hard to stop just like drugs.

[RicocheT]

If they are not responsible at 18 to smoke, then let's also raise the voting age to 21.

[LiberalView]

Yes, i agree their should be a legal age to smoke marijuana!

O wrong topic!!!

[The Other Harry]

What it comes down to is taxes.

[The Other Harry]

I'll take that a step further...

Have you ever noticed how gambling is illegal when it occurs outside the government's ability to to tax it, but it is encouraged when then the government can tax it?

The odds the player gets on "numbers running" games in NYC are better than those the player gets on state-run lotteries. One is illegal; the other is perfectly acceptable.
