Want to know what LI legislators spend their days legislating? Okay, maybe not, but I just couldn't quite believe that anyone would spend their time on THIS choice piece of legislation that puts candy cigarettes behind the counter.
Yes, you read that correctly - CANDY cigarettes are now being put behind the counter in an effort to eliminate their status as a gateway to smoking the real thing. Obviously the copious amounts of anti-smoking education these kids are exposed to are being overpowered by the natural progression from candy cigarettes to their close cousin real tobacco cigarettes.
I know we all asked for change from the politicians, but I'm fairly certain this wasn't what they had in mind.
