[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 447814, member: 1723"] I've mixed feelings about this. On the one hand it will deprive the state of badly needed revenue. And then as we all know, resourceful people will circumvent this as they have in the past. And then there's the issue of all the stores that sell tobacco products. As I understand it, the c-stores have the most to loose and they make a great deal of their income off cig sales. They will be the most vocal group in opposing this. Equally, the damaging issues of cigs are well known and there's no point in trying to defend it. At the same time, those who want them will get them be they 21, 18, 16, or whatever. And then those who are 18 can vote and go to war. So where's the logic? There isn't any IMO. At some point individuals have to be able to make their own personal decisions about what's healthy and what's not. A conundrum to be sure! :| Cheers, RR [/QUOTE]
