Regulating tobacco... Hmm. Next it will be alcohol. And then food that is apparently "unhealthy." Seems like 0bama wants control of EVERYTHING.

Just think, soon you will have to fight to get back what you lost. Now what did Rousseau say? Something about sovereignty should be in the hands of the people and natural rights?

Before people knew smoking was bad for them they died of lung cancer like flies. People smoked EVERYWHERE - just watch an old movie or old TV to see. They had to be told by the Surgeon General in the 70s, warnings printed on packs, etc. before the smoking-related death rate began to go down.

Cutting off their nose in spite of their face.

If folks quit smoking, then there goes all of that tax money, suposedly being used to support healthcare reform, of all things.

Heh heh ... let 'em regulate or otherwise outlaw everything ... and we'll sit back and watch their tax base whither away to nothing ... good goin' gov ...
