you can't stop people from smoking of any age, the only way this might work, each person would need a body grad, even then it still would not work, the black market would have more business, Ill get mine one way are a another, so clap clap clap on that..............

okay so im 17 i smoked and dip.....ok so if kids are gonna smoke fuck flavored cigeretts...i like them bc the smell but if kids are gonna smoke there gonna smoke marb reds camel newports ext bc if a kid tryed to smoke a favored cig infront of ppl 2 b cool 10 bucks said he gets called a pussy and gets his ass kicked by other smokers...also adults should be able to smoke what they want like hes taking the right to go get what you want and what u put in your body like i could give 2 shits

Don't look down on me when you see me smoke because it is my decision and no one else's. I have my reasons for smoking, and since this is one of my rights, I choose to use it to the fullest extent of the law because if I could not then I would be controlled by a government which takes freedom away from the people. You say its OK, but what happens when its something YOU personally enjoy?

@quickheartbeat hey hate to burst your life bubble but, no one lives forever

fact: time has killed more people than car accidents, cigarettes alcohol, coke, meth, plane crashes , natural disasters and everything else you can think of....so stop being an ass we're all going to die and there's no bill that can save you =)

the funny thing is though, that normal tobacco products are not affected here.

this bill was really just below the belt.

Obamah's just doing his job, right? Why would WE THE PEOPLE ever be upset over (any) choice being taken away from us with the stroke of a pen?
