Why is it always about Obama? He signed a bill that Congress passed. THAT CONGRESS PASSED. Would you have expected him to VETO it? C'mon, people. Get real.

Clove cigarettes are definitely smoke more by younger people than older people. I have never seen someone over the age of 25 smoke a clove. Flavored tobaccos are absolutely marketed toward younger people. Camel makes "tropical" cigarettes in the summer...who do you think they are trying to get to buy those, 55-year-old Joe the Trucker who has been smoking the same cigs for 30+ years or the new smoker who hasn't found her exact taste yet...or maybe has never smoked? These are "gateway" cigarettes, and the new law is the right thing to do.
