I smoked for many years, and was able to quite only during a period of recuperation when I could not smoke, and have managed to stay away from smoking. There are still times I crave a cigar ...... but I know ...... one puff and I could be hooked again.
Obama has signed the new "smoking" legislation, and that is probably a good thing. Those that voted against the legislation were Republicans who had received a lot of campaign money from the tobacco industry. Money talks.
The middle class and poor, it is said by the politicians, suffer the most from smoking.
In the mext breath, politicians, including Obama say that gamblling hurts the poor and middle class .... but during the campaign, while campaigning in Nevada ...
"Obama is courting union workers at casinos and has calibrated his criticisms to declare Nevada a "model" for properly regulated casino gambling."
So smoking is bad, gambling is bad, unless in Nevada, or was it a campaign gimmick?
I wonder if the Obama campaign received any money from the cigarette industry, or the casinos in Navada ..........
