Now I’m not condoning smoking at all, but if a person of legal age wants to smoke, that’s their choice.
What I’m wondering is, at what point do they feel the need to regulate a persons life by controlling where tobacco products are sold, just seems now days that our goverment is telling us how we shall live our life……….

Well said trojan….as an ex-smoker I have no desire to lecture anyone on their legal right to make choices. My point in posting what I did was to show the hypocrisy of these politicians decision. They obviously chose to “side with” the alcohol industry and not “side with” the tobacco industry. Last time I checked, both were legal if you’re old enough.
