The title of the thread seems deliberately intended to stir controversy.


Off-topic and incendiary...

Unacceptable, IMO.

I agree that it would be good to be able to have a civil discussion about tobacco legislation, but unfortunately it seems that there are always those few who would prefer to start a political pissing match. Isn't that the reason for the rule against political threads?

Just my $0.02.

I agree 100% and I contacted a Mod when I wrote my original post.
This thread is fine and dandy if you agree w/ everything you read in it and if you don't then the whole tread is a problem.

I mean if Mrs. Clinton is anti-tobacco that is her deal and if it bothers me i just won't vote for her. I guess someone saying I'm not voting for a particular political party just doesn't twist me up too much. People are entitled to their opinions.

I agree completely. I am quite surprised that this type of thread causes animosity or causes anyone to change their opinion of others. Unfortunately there are folks who do take offense, and that's why these types of threads are not encouraged.

As for me, I find differing points of view interesting. Who knows... I might learn something.

I agree that this is not only political because it is focused around smoking but now that it has crossed over to the point of mostly political views then I think it is time to close it.

I think most people had the chance to voice thier opinion on the subject. No one got mad so closing this at this time is what I feel is right.

Thanks for playing nice guys and no letting it get out of hand.

I will close it now.
