And to do so is, quite plainly, an affront to Americans’ freedom of choice.
Americans have been educated. Americans have been informed. Butt out, in other words. Let Americans choose for themselves.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Because every ban protects someone so surely people must be quitting smoking if it is banned.
Right?
