    This is absurd, everyone knows that cigarettes are bad for you, but the last thing we need is the government getting its foot in the door to ban them outright.

      Vader82,

      The DOLTS in Congress NEVER learn, be it the prohibition of alcohol, marijuana, or what have you. The further they drive something "underground", the MORE POPULAR they make it; the "Forbidden Fruit" factor and all that.

      Meanwhile, the economy continues to erode due to Mr. "57 states" nit-wit plans, while Congress (or should we change that to CON-US?) passes this SILLY legislation. And the Left claims it is the Conservatives who foster fear? This bill is "Fear Itself" in action. The question their action raises is: "And what will be their NEXT target after they have slain the 'Tobacco Dragon'?" Remember --- Busy Bodies (and Social Engineers are the WORST KIND) MUST always have something in their sights; it is their entire raison d'etre, and they'll NEVER be "finished" with what they see as their "calling": The PERFECT SOCIETY. Rest assured, your turn WILL COME.

      The dolts seem to believe that by "exorcising" the "evils" of tobacco, they will somehow acquire ETERNAL LIFE. Sorry, my Dear Congressional Dolts, you'll still die of something eventually, be it smoking or chasing one too many desirable Congressional Intern.

      GOD save us from Social Engineers!
