Description[?]:
| "We prefer the freedom for anyone to buy, sell, and trade as they wish. Local governments shouldn't even regulate this. Certainly the national government shouldn't.

We don't want them regulating the sale of tobacco." ~Tom Rand, Grassroots Outreach Director of the LPS and Minister of Trade and Industry |
