This country is becoming a bunch of pussies that are offended or appaulled by anything they themselves wouldn't do. I'm not gay, but if two guys want to get married so be it. I could careless, but there are people who spend all their time trying to prohibit it and they stay upset about it. There are other people who target smokers the same way. Other people target alcoholics. If you want to spend your life trying to create bans on the way other people live, you are not living your life.

I would rather see it made illegal along with alcohol. If we are going to judge one form of drugs as acceptable over another than it is simply a self defeating judgement......do as I say not as I do.

exactly...America is becoming a country that is doomed to fail trying to create a utopia. Tobacco is legal, alcohol is legal...don't bitch when people are exercising their right to use these products where allowed!
This is why many, many other nations hate Americans, because Americans keeping wanting more and more and more for themselves, then complain when they can't have it.
This isn't bashing America, herself, just her people. I will soon be in the armed forces, however, I'm going in to fight/protect OUR freedoms and principles...not other people's greed for more.

It's stupid to think that kids are going to start smoking because people in movies do it. That is some stupid shit. Oh shit better cover you kid's eyes there's an evil smoker! Smoking is disgusting and should be banned but that its ridiculous.

BTW, I am in no way proud to be a smoker. If you have never smoked a cig, don't. It's easy not to start, but once you do it's another story. It does stink, it's a waste of money, and is bad for my health. On the other hand I'm healthier than a lot of people I know that don't smoke.
