Again, what this bill does is it goes after Americans' choice. You may not think that they should use tobacco--we can acknowledge the health risk associated with it--but it is not Congress' job to make that decision for adults, for the American voter. We have seen a consistent pattern of this. We have seen it time and time again, whether it was from a mayor in a large city like New York telling Americans what size Coke or soft drink they could have to something as outrageous as my friends on the other side of the aisle trying to tell the American voter who the President should be through the impeachment process. Now they are going to tell them what kind of tobacco they can use. It goes on and on and on and on. And do you know what? If we continue down this path, it really does start to look and smell and sound just like socialism. I don't think that is right for this country, and we should fight back against it.
