This is coming from a man so large that he can't even tie his own shoes.

I can see a lot more mystery shops being done now.... where you go in without ID and try to buy cigarettes....

There should be an exception for soldiers. I have a hard time telling a 19 year old soldier who may have spent months in combat that he can't order a beer in a bar when he's home on leave.

I think it remains 18 on military bases and state law can't stop it.

So, at 18 you can fight in a war and vote but can't smoke? Got it.

Excellent idea! looks good on paper!! BUT!!!!!
That is not going to stop them!
Where there is a will there is a way. Give a homeless person $1.00
They will make your purchase of cigarettes, cigars and wine.

It's 21 in Ca, but 18 if you're a service member.

Smoking is killing many people. Lung cancer, COPD , emphysema, throat cancer and other smoking related diseases taking many people at a very young age.

I have seen what smoking can do for I have seen all the above in people . Some have to wear oxygen and others are confined to their beds for the energy is gone as the lungs deteriorate. I know too many who have died from smoking.

Does anyone else find it as amusing as me that a morbidly obese man is dictating to others what they should be doing to their bodies?
