Yes, it's okay that this is banned because we live in a free country and that is good.

-Smokers, particularly the younger crowd, will find they can no longer buy cigarettes sweetened by candy flavors or any herb or spices such as strawberry, grape, orange, clove, cinnamon or vanilla. Cigarettes advertised as "light" or "mild," giving the impression that they aren't as harmful to health, will no longer be found on store shelves.

I can't see a problem with this. It's more a problem to call cigarettes "light" and "mild" when they do the same damage as regular cigs.

But we HAVE a smoking ban, dipshit.

And it is a fucking violation of rights.

It's a ban on THOSE kind of cigs, not regular cigs. Is it illegal to smoke in the US? No.

Funny how you're unable to construct a sentence without the need to be a douche.

Well cities are slowly banning smoking. In Los Angeles alone, you can't smoke in Burbank and Santa Monica.
..Yeah don't go there,

I let you get to me

yeah yeah.

bright lights, big city

Chicago is pretty much smoke free nowadays too

It's not illegal to smoke in the US, but it is obviously being phased out. I have heard of some cities being almost entirely smoke free.

I've been hassled by store managers and cops before for not complying with the "15 feet away from door LOL" law. Like I am supposed to be 15 feet from every fucking door in the city. Smoking in the middle of the road is pretty dangerous IMO.

You can't even smoke at bus stops anymore. Once a bus driver didn't let me on the fucking bus for seeing me put out a cigarette as she pulled up.

And I can construct any sentence without being a douche, just not for you your highness.

So you think it's okay for a portion of the public to be condemned because they do something stupid but enjoy?

Albuquerque is also smoke free except for casinos and golf courses.  Hmmmmm wonder how that happened?  I'm sure it was all about public health though.

Look, it is a big deal.  This is the government, in a supposed free society, telling the citizens that they can't do something that only causes harm to themselves.  Its total bull shit.  This is people forcing their life style beliefs on other people.  That is wrong.  Its sad to me that people are so conditioned to it that they don't even see the problem with it.

But imagine this.  A new right wing Christian movement sweeps the U.S. and suddenly the large majority of politicians are born again.  Now, there is a ban of pre marital sex in the U.S.  They spin it by saying that they are trying to control the spread of STDs.  But we all really know its because Jesus told them to.  If it was something like this, THEN you would be mad about government control.  But since you don't give a shit about the subject because it doesn't effect you, you're apathetic to the principal.  Which is bull shit.  Because the government taking more and more of your rights , privileges , and freedoms just to satisfy some BS agenda is not ok.

yes if it would be dangerous to others.

no idea why some of you make this a "freedom" topic, considering that you probablly arent free when you choose to smoke (because youre addicted to it and because there is a social pressure on you).

smoking should be allowed to adults that dont bother others with it. because the government has has to protect its people, it has the duty to inform about the dangers of smoking.
