A military ban on the use of tobacco. The army may have a mutiny. Wouldn’t that be ironic?…

Even with banning tobacco products, AF still has no problem recruiting and retention due to war in Iraq and Afghanistan at this time.

That worked so lets do it with smokes! If ya got even alittle sense, (i didn't say COMMON), you know this is just stupid to think about. Somebody needs a real mission in life. What ever happened to "The Land of the Free"? And I don't smoke, But I do like my dip. Makes me want to start drinking again........... First the porn mags in the PX.

Now, you're catching on, GI. "Additionally how many good airmen that do smoke are going to get in trouble under this policy if imposed that ordinarily would not?" Naaaaw. That would never happen. When they lowered the drinking age, the number of underage drinkers busted when down... uh... didn't it? This sounds like a case of "it sure would be good if nobody used tobacco products"... and it would. But, unless they are prepared to engage in a War on Tobacco... modeled after the extremely successful War on Alcohol in which complete victory was declared in 1933, the current War on Drugs which I'm not even sure are available anymore and the War on Terror which I hear is almost over as there hasn't been a terrorist act in the last couple of hours... well, I don't see a tobacco ban working out quite the way they might want. It can be done, but I'm guessing it has to be done through a gradual and willing change of culture... kinda like how you just don't see a lot of laudanum users anymore. J!
