I happen to agree that people who don't have money to eat shouldn't be buying cigs, or far worse, in my opinion, tatoos.
But, this is still the United States and although the Rs want to take many personal rights away from us, they haven't succeeded to the extent they want to.
Just like despising the garbage spewed by trash like Westboro, lushbo, KKK, fux and other SCUM, I will defend their right to spew garbage.
If you love freedom, you will want ALL people to have the SAME freedoms. Even when you disagree with them.
If the cig buyer was found to be eligible for funds, its his business how he spends that money.
OTOH, if you don't think he should have that freedom, then get into the wagon with the R. They would love to take ALL freedoms away from ALL people - except those they happen to agree with.
food stamps aren't money. Are you suggesting people should be able to buy whatever they want with food stamps?
In that state, there are two kinds of stamps - one for food and the other for such things as cigarettes.
