There is absolutely nothing to suggest that this would lead to banning the manufacture or sale of cigarettes or tobacco products.

Dont you think lawmakers learned from Prohibition?

This is about regulating an addictive product, that contrary to Seaver's "deemed bad", is one of the leading causes of death in the US.

I understand dk's and samcool's libertarian response. I expected it....I just dont agree with it.
