Political Masturbation in NYC

NYC Hikes Smoking Age

Smokers younger than 21 years old will soon be banned from purchasing tobacco products in New York City after the City Council on Wednesday voted to increase the age limit.

What next? I wonder which "Political Genius" in the Big Apple, had the vision and the forethought to come up with this harebrained idea? OMG, you mean that 20 year olds can actually buy cigarettes.

"Do you actually mean to tell me that some young man or a young woman, in the National Guard, from New York, with their rifle and backpack and all that government equipment on, leaving their families behind, can actually stop and buy a package of filthy cigarettes on their way to Afghanistan or some area where their life will be in harms way. I vote YES, OH, the horrors of it all .... Pass me a bottle of water."

Detroit, on the other hand, lowered the age to 2 to purchase alcohol and tobacco in hopes of somehow increasing revenue from taxes .................
