"Sen. Tom Coburn, who is also a medical doctor, is calling for an outright ban on the sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products."

Leave it to the Republicans to advance the nanny state while pretending to be the champions of individual freedom!
How long is it going to be until the government is told that it does not have the right to tell people what they can and cannot do with their own bodies?! The answer is, however long it takes us to tell them.
Tell your government, right now, that you're sick of the nanny state. The government does not know what is best for your, and even if it does, it does not have the right to enforce its ideals on your life. If you want to smoke, then here in the land of the free and the home of the brave why the hell are you not allowed to?
Who is this feel good senator to tell the whole of America that they cannot smoke tobacco?
What's next? Drinking alcohol?
OH MY GOD.
Have we not had enough of prohibition already?
If you outlaw cigarettes, only outlaws will have cigarettes. I'm tired of the these elected fools helping prop up organized crime. What is this, some sort of organized crime stimulus package? Wouldn't surprise me if the man gets kickbacks from Colombian tobacco lords (or at least, he will be getting them)
STOP THE MADNESS NOW.

Socialism again. If I am going to get stuck paying for your health care then you had better not do anything unhealthy! Along with socialized medicine comes complete government control over your health. Do you want to loose all freedom concerning your health care and how you take care, or don't take, of your body? Then keep socialized medicine in this country. Do you want freedom to make your own health choices? Then get the government out of health care completely. The only valid health issue I can see government involvement in is health screening at our country's borders.
