GUEST,DV	BS: Tobacco Sales Banned in San Francisco (80* d)	RE: BS: Tobacco Sales Banned in San Francisco	30 Jul 08
I agree with Poppagator. It is about the best way to get things done, which is rarely the government way of getting things done. The product is a legal product which requires purchasers to show proof of age. So long as pharmacies comply with the law, how can the city government interfere with the commerce? Stupid laws cost taxpayers a lot more than the health savings in cases like this. I'm sure the megacorps with an army of lawyers will take this baby to the US Supreme Court to get the law overturned, and they are on salary. The city government, ie the taxpayers, have to pay every dime to defend against the legal challenges. The LA City Council will also be challenged by the fast food megacorps, and the taxpayers will pay to defend that law against the legal challenges to it. Wouldn't it be more productive to work with people and corps, rather than pass laws to litigate and keep the lawyers rolling in the dough?
