TheVipaGTS 12/21/19 11:49:11 AM #80:	again, most people start smoking at younger ages and get hooked into adulthood. they don't start at adulthood. For a few months some HS students already are 18, still going to school with minors. even after they graduate Some 18 and 19 year olds are still friends with the now 16 and 17 year olds they went to school with. They still have that HS mentality while being friends with those people...this is one (very easy) way kids get their hands on Cigarettes and get hooked. There is a reason Joe Camel was a thing. the Cig companies know this. Until it was made illegal their main focus was to try to get kids in ways like this and get them addicted to nicotine. Raising the age to 21 can significantly cut into that which is a good thing. You can argue (this is a freedom issue) all you want, but that's not the only factor that is to be considered when things like this are discussed. There is no "right to smoke cigarettes" just because you're an adult. "you can vote but you can't smoke a cig!?", yes....you can also vote but not get into certain clubs. --- Dallas Cowboys: 1 - 1 <cite>TheVipaGTS posted [p:931882695] in Its offici...
