We've come a long way from the days of libertarian days of filthy meat and poultry slaughterhouses, farmers using toxic sprays on produce, snake charming traveling pharma providers, moonshiners, etc.
I've stated how this bill doesn't even really do anything it claims. The FDA gains the ability to regulate tobacco in the way that it regulates food and drugs. It has been a miserable failure in both.

Additional warning labels on tobacco products? If you know anything about the PMRC you would know that this stuff only makes these type of products more desirable for kids.

Also, you still haven't really answered the question, why do you care if I consume such products? What is in it for you?

It's like you just supports legislation just to support it or because its a popular piece for the left/progressives. I've discussed this with you before in regards to other legislation and how the title and summaries MEAN NOTHING in comparison to what the actually text says and does. Its very tiresome.

Do you really want politicians voting for FLAWED bills? Our rights don't exactly come back very easily once they've been taken away. History has proven this.

Think twice about what bogus bills you support.
