Letter: Government can't control drugs; how can it control tobacco?
Tuesday, Aug. 18, 1998 | 10:05 a.m.
Will someone explain where these youngsters get the funds to buy tobacco products? Either mommy and daddy furnishes the funds, or they get it illegally, or maybe that's the reason they keep raising the minimum wage.
For a government that can't control illegal drugs, how does it expect to control tobacco? Why do I have this feeling the politicians are using that old ploy of the word "children" again to gain votes.
By the way, did you ever see those rich Republicans stuffing tobacco products down teens' throats? (Let's get real.)
As for your definition of a Republican, who would want to be a poor Democrat.
