I cant stand smoking but if you are old enough to vote at 18 and legally an an adult at 18 then you are old enough to make decisions about your life. - Walt_Disney Oct 31, 06:34 5
- Do you think the drinking age should be lowered from 21 to 18 then as well? -- nm - ty97 Oct 31, 06:37 4

  - certainly. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 31, 06:40
  - (it is already 19 in Canada) -- nm - Beaker Oct 31, 06:38 1
    - (except Quebec where it is 18) -- nm - Andie Oct 31, 06:39
so I take it that the City can do this and it isn't a State thing then. Here it is set Federally I do believe -- nm - Beaker Oct 31, 06:22 2
- and I checked it is set Provincially and varies from 18-19 -- nm - Beaker Oct 31, 06:24
- Yes. -- nm - Krusty Oct 31, 06:23
They should be worrying about the real problems of this city and not this crap. Here's a gun to go fight in a war but don't you dare smoke after - Krusty Oct 31, 06:22 11
- well, we shouldn't be sending kids to go fight our wars for us either :) -- nm - znufrii Oct 31, 07:24

  - I don't like it one bit. I don't want people smoking but I don't like how we treat them for using a legal product. -- nm - Krusty Oct 31, 06:28 8
    - we don't let people drink and drive either. Some products deserve to have limitations on them -- nm - Beaker Oct 31, 06:35 1
      - that is the fine line. it isn't only the person smoking/drinking and driving that is harmed. -- nm - Andie Oct 31, 06:37
    - Regarding your IM, a devil's advocate question - ty97 Oct 31, 06:34 2

      - I never thought about it. Without thinking, no I wouldn't want it outlawed anywhere. -- nm - Krusty Oct 31, 06:36
    - fine *makes cigarettes illegal* - znufrii Oct 31, 06:33
    - That has an impact on other people. -- nm - Roger More Oct 31, 06:31 1

- Yup. I'm not surprised at all but disappointed. I am glad they took out the e-cig stuff that was in the bill. -- nm - Krusty Oct 31, 06:23
