OT Prohibition: Michael, do you really want big brother to become even more involved in our lives? Of course I agree with you about the dangers/addictiveness of tobacco but I am even more concerned about the continued intrusion into our personal freedoms and lives by the federal government. There is no doubt in my mind that our forefathers would be turning over in their graves if they were aware of the extent to which the federal government -designed and intended by them to be one of limited powers- has intruded and affected our freedoms. The federal government has come to be viewed by many as the source of "resolution" to many of the problems and challenges confronting our nation. But it has proven time and again that it simply cannot solve or deal with most of those problems. It is high time IMHO that we started looking to our individual states to address most of our grievances and radically limit the role of the feds.

regards
