What next, Alcohol, Birth Control, Ice Cream?
So, in 2050, a person 51 years old will be buying cigarettes for their 49-year-old neighbors at $50/pack.
While at it, why not ban people born before 1980, since they have already been exposed to enough smoke.
Not picking on smokers but rather the rule makers.

If smokers want to pay big bucks to hasten their own deaths, it is their business. However all the butts they throw out their cars and leave on the golf courses and roads is what needs to be outlawed. Some are real slobs.[/QUOTE]
Not to open a new thread but in addition to what you stated (butts), there are also water bottles, nips and fast food refuse all over the place as well. We have a littering fetish in this country that has survived generations. All the laws and ordinances in this country have done very little to mitigate it. Singapore has an interesting coping mechanism: caning!
