Last time I was in Jersey (August) The smoking age was 19. Now, I think that's gay and I don't even smoke.

Once you are legally held accountable for your actions, I think you should be able to smoke, drink, buy porn, join the service, and own a registered fire arm. The only separation I think makes sense is driving. I think it's cool to let kids drive before they are "adults" because it (sometimes) helps kids to learn responsibility. It's stupid to say an 18 year old can buy tobacco, but you have to be 19 to buy porn and 21 to buy a gun. Yet, all over the country, 18 is the age you have to be to sign up for the military. So, I can join the military at 18, serve time during war, but, I can't come home on leave and buy a pack of smokes or a playboy if I live in certain states. Gay. Make all that shit one age, in every state I say.
