I despise people who use the word  “Nazi” when it comes to defining their enemies…except when it comes to me.

Yes, I’m a hypocrite, but I prefer to think the title to this post is more like an inspiration from a B-movie title than the historical National Socialists. My anger has to do with the government acting like Nazi clowns wanting to control everything.

We already have anti-smoking laws up the wazoo. Do we need even more legislation? The Obama Administration says yes! And as usual they are controlling what we see for the “sake of the kids.” Damn the kids. I’m sick of having my world defined by stupid young people who need to be taught critical thinking instead of having everything censored for their gullible eyes.

“Historic anti-smoking legislation sped to final congressional passage on Friday,” reports the Associated Press. This new legislation will involve:

- Cigarette packages will have warning labels that cover 50 percent of the front and rear. The word “warning” must be included in capital letters. (If tobacco makers were smart they would name their brand “Warning Cigarettes”)

- Any remaining tobacco-related sponsorships of sports and entertainment events will be banned, as will giveaways of non-tobacco items with the purchase of a tobacco product. A federal ban will be imposed on all outdoor tobacco advertising within 1,000 feet of schools and playgrounds. (As if kids can’t walk a 1000 feet. How sheltered does Obama think kids are?)

- Smokers, particularly the younger crowd, will find they can no longer buy cigarettes sweetened by candy flavors or any herb or spices such as strawberry, grape, orange, clove, cinnamon or vanilla. (Taste the rainbow–oh no, rainbow is off limits.)

This is f-ing ridiculous. I’m not a smoker, but why the hell do we need all this? Doesn’t government understand that kids rebel against authority. The more they try to suppress smoking the cooler it becomes. If Obama was smart he would start a campaign showing parents and police advocating cigarettes. No kid wants to imitate geeky adults.

This nonsense about giving the FDA so much power over cigarettes is eventually going to extend into the arts. I recently wrote an article on “R-rated Smoking” where the MPAA takes smoking into consideration when rating a film. And there is some moron insisting that any movie showing smoking has to have an “R” attached to it.

Luckily, most kids are rebelling with a relatively harmless drug called “pot.” But with Nazi tactics like this anti-smoking legislation, Obama is going to make cancer sticks a way for kids to give “the man” the finger.
