If Obamma thought he could get TV time by announcing a ban on banning ban, he would rush to his shiny plane, fly off to somewhere of no consequence and hold a press conference where all attendees would be relatives or others of limited gray matter but pockets full of ACORN.

Obama is not trying to be fair about anything. It's all about looking like he's trying to fix a problem. He could not possibly EVER get any kind of regulation or ban on alcohol. He just could not win that battle. Everyone hates smokers so they are an easy target. Imagine all the programs that are not or will not be funded in the future b/c no one is smoking any more. All that cigarette tax will be no more. He is shooting them in the foot. Imagine the load on our health care system if we all start living remarkably longer lives b/c we eat better, don't smoke and are generally more healthy! God forbid we develop a national health system. Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security are already billions of dollars in debt and filled with overbilling and fraud. Imagine the load of all us healthy folks on the system. Wake up people!

did you know that 90% of all statistics are made up? nah, i just made that up....CITE YOUE SOURCES!!! otherwise, good article.
