Also, please make sure to browse through (read) the comments. Please click the 'show more' button at the bottom of the comments. There are some very interesting ones there.
Specifically, please consider:
1) What is a 'Nanny State' and do you want to live in one?
2) Why does the government want to protect children so much now, but did not seem to care in the past?
3) Why is the government making access to tobacco so difficult, but not toughening laws on things like marijuanna?
4) Are there flavoured tobacco products in your native country?
5) Can people under 19 make informed choices about their health, or should the government do it for them?
6) When my dad found out that I smoked (I was 21 and yes, I have since quit), he just said to me, "It's your body. Be careful." Do you think this was a good message, or should he have been angry and threatening?
7) What would your parents do (or what did they do) if they found out you smoked?
See you tomorrow.
