I'm honestly indifferent on this. But if it somehow hurts McConnell and the Senate Republicans, then it's definitely for the best. Let's not act like this idea compromises McConnell's chances of being re-elected though.

OK, possibly dumb question, but I thought tobacco ages were determined by the states. Is McConnell trying to do what the federal government did in the 80s to compel the states to raise the drinking age to 21? (Raise the drinking age or lose your highway funds)

Republicans don't care about federalism anymore, so maybe.
