Bill would ban cigarette sales to anyone under 100 in Hawaii
 [NYPOST] Cigarettes in Hawaii may soon go up in smoke ‐ thanks to a proposed bill that aims to bar sales of them to anyone under the age of 100."The legislature finds that the cigarette is considered the deadliest artifact in human history," states the bill, sponsored by Democratic Rep. Richard Creagan. "The cigarette is an unreasonably dangerous and defective product, killing half of its long-term users." The bill adds that the Aloha State is "suffering from its own addiction to cigarettes in the form of the large sums of money that the State receives from state cigarette sales taxes, with the tax revenues recently reaching more than $100,000,000 per year."
