Tobacco/vaping...the government wants it both ways. They restrict it GREATLY, but hey, give them their high taxes from it. Even as a smoker, the government either needs to ban it, or let it go as a legal product for anyone over 18. This 21YO limit is BS (I'll compromise at 19, lessens HS sales). And the whole indoor ban I still think is BS, it should be up to the individual business (although I personally don't smoke indoors).

Wrong on all counts.

The taxes are all justified. They can't outlaw it. And, the 21 age is right on the mark. So, they've handled it 100% correct.

Then raise the military age to 21. And why can't they outlaw it? Oh that's right, too much income it brings.

Edit: honestly, if today, you came out with a product that is proven to kill you sooner than normal, they would never make it legal.

Wrong again. Military is not the same issue. Can't outlaw it because prohibition doesn't work. Alcohol is way more dangerous to families, and lives, that will never be outlawed either.

I have an issue that you can die for your country, because you're an adult, but you can't buy smokes. (Or alcohol, for that matter). I understand the HS issue, so that's why I say make it 19 years of age.

Prohibition doesn't work, but you wanna ban guns, right? ;)

No. I want to ban certain guns.

Yes, because businesses would never do anything that put their employees in harms way in order to make an extra buck.

The BS is the exemptions for casinos in Iowa. So the smoking ban is to protect employee health, but casino employees don't matter? Fark that.

The employees choose to work there. Just as customers choose to give those businesses their money. If the model doesn't work, the business is free to ban smoking because of a company policy. :)

So Fark the poor for not having a better place to work. And screw child labor laws, those kids chose to work there too.

That's a bit of a leap and an extreme one, at that.
 
Re: POTUS: Definitely Needs Anger Management

Look at the dietary changes in the past few years. Veganism, vegetarianism, gluten-free...the demand is there, so places changed to meet the demand.

I fully believe smoking indoors would have adjusted w/o government intervention. Some places would still have it, if it didn't hurt the business, and others would have done away with it. But it would have been THEIR choice, not the government's.
