And why do you wish to apply force to people who wish to decide what goes into their body? 

because a lot of people don't give a sh*t about it that it also gets into other people's body aswell....

good, i agree, smoking people are a plague really, and they dont care about people that is near them while smoking. Me as an asthmatic person i hate them.



I'd be curious how this board would react if this was followed up that 21 will also now be age can legally buy M rated games or R rated films.

I get disliking smoking, but picking and choosing 18 or 21 for what adults can do makes no sense to me. Standardize 21 as the new 18 of adulthood and all it entails.

Uuuuummmm... Why? You can still smoke if you're 18+ years old. You just can't purchase them... I wonder How that's supposed to work...

That's the same law as drinking in most states.

 Hmmm... For Alcohol, I thought the legal age to consume was 21 as well?

 

Not in my state.

Then the armed forces couldn't prey on high school students to enlist.

Thanks god you hate cigarettes, not jews.

We cant smoke in bar and restaurant anymore. And I usually make it so that non smoker won't have to breathe the smoke.

This crusade against smoke is exaggerated, it was proven that most of the lung cancers that were said to come from passive smoking were the fact of diesel and factories.

Come on, there were ads for cigarettes everywhere 20 years ago, and now people look at smokers like terrorists. Totally hypocritical.

Worse yet, you can go to war and die before being allowed to have a beer.
