LumRaiderFan Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 http://dailysignal.com/2014/07/06/government-regulation-threatens-119-year-old-family-cigar-business/?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=morningbell I never realized minors smoking cigars was such an epidemic. The article states that it is the responsibility of the FDA to regulate youth access to tobacco (strangely, they were given this power in 2009)...sorry, that will never work. It is the store owner/manager and/or the clerk working in the store that is responsible for making sure minors don't get tobacco products...it is, by the way, against the law. The fed gov is not the answer to everything even though I'm sure many would disagree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LumRaiderFan Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 So, you really expect store owners to police themselves from making a profit? Yes I do, or be fined and/or go to jail...selling tobacco to minors was illegal before 2009. My point is fed gov regulations are not the answer...you obviously (surprise, surprise) disagree.

stevenash Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Yes, make sure a minor doesnt get a cigar but let him go to Colorado and get all of the pot he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
