| Message | We disagree with regulations on what people put into their bodies. Tobacco is a drug, and is covered by the drug bill which says "All naturally occurring drugs are legal." Therefore, this law violates the law which is already on the books. |

| Message | They make purchasing tobacco illegal for folks not defined as Adults and the act of using the tobacco illegal in most public buildings. What good is it to have it if you can't use it? |
