I also agree with the law.  I'm tired of seeing children buying
cigarettes at the local mom and pop store.  I would also support it in
the case of buying liquor.  I'm also tired of children buying alcohol at
the state stores, although that happens a whole lot less than the buying
of cigarettes.  There *is* usually some sort of control there.
After all, both alcohol and nicotine *are* life threatening, and
behavior altering, drugs.

     Yeah Karolina , bet here is the kicker! All of the taxes we now
     are paying did not come about untill the 1930's ...............
     Go back and read a little history and you'll find inflation and
     all this other stuff was non-existent . Remember the 3 cent stamp?
