I have some thoughts, but first I would like to hear what our other members have to say.

Very strongly opposed to this overkill. Who cares whether the original law is constitutional or not, this is a simulated game so we don't need to pretend to worry about tobacco companies suing us till the cows come home.
People have every right to  up their lives if they want to as long as there's no direct harm to others. Given the very liberal approach we take to drugs in this game and in this region it's absurd to suddenly take such a hardline position on tobacco as if we're LARPing as Nancy Reagan.

Of course I agree with ASV, or rather he agrees with me! As the court has upheld our GLORIOUS BIPARTISAN plain packaging law, this amendment serves no further purpose.

Now we will vote.


Nay!
