How would that forfeit Utah again? Obama has beers with workers in PA, does that make Mormons hate him? Mormons are just personally against substances, they aren't self righteous and stupid about it. I'm pretty sure they're more concerned with gay marriage and abortion than banning cigarettes as their main issue.
All of the liberals smoke in Berkeley. You got to get with the times man, smoking has become cool again.
Nicotine is more addictive than alcohol and is even more addictive than many "hard" drugs like heroin. You know many people who consume an alcoholic beverage once in a while, but you probably don't know anyone who smokes just once in a while. Nicotine tends to be an all-or-nothing proposition, and very few people stay in the middle ground for long. Most people either don't smoke at all, or they smoke more often than they use the bathroom.
Nicotine is the ONLY legally available product that kills such a high percentage of users even when used as directed. Smoking is the leading cause of premature death, far surpassing gunshots, drownings, falls, car crashes, airplane crashes, etc.
Having Haley "Joe Camel" Barbour on the ticket would blatantly undermine the claptrap about "moral values" and "the sanctity of life". Exactly what is moral or pro-life about being a glorified drug pusher who seduces kids into nicotine addiction against the wishes of their parents?
