This bill will not stop smoking or restrict an adult from buying cigarettes, but it seems like it will try to prevent the pushing of cigarettes on children.

Congress and the US government aren't doing enough to regulate tobacco products and are not placing label warings that are large and have the abililty to sway one to stop smoking. I was more dissappointed when they didn't follow up with the international tobacco treaty. According to many websites, there were many states that recieved a F for not having enough great state regulations. The federal governemnt also recieved Fs and a D -for failing to ratify the international treaty. I believe more should be done and that graphic images should be displayed on cigareete warings along with their warings so they can have more power on a person and can make the person acknowledge the effects of smoking

Prohibition is proven to not work. Just take a look back in history. I'm all for not letting children smoke, but come on.
