Personal freedoms issues aside (for the sake of arguement), at least moves like this may eventually hit some cigarette companies and tobacco farmers in the wallet.
Don't RJR et al make significant contributions to rethuglikkkan candidates (like Jesse Helms -ptui-) and conservative groups? I grew up in North Carolina, and my father owned and ran tobacco warehouses, so working in a warehouse was very often my summer job (before I knew better than to support such nastiness); I witnessed racist, bigoted, homophobic farmers that make Helms (-ptui-) look gay-friendly.
Also, maybe decisions like this on the part of companies may enable otherwise helpless-to-quit folks to finally stop killing themselves.
What? Do I have something against smoking? Well, only that it causes a long, slow death.
