Should tobacco companies be allowed to give free cigarettes to children?

Quote by: Chancellor I haven't abandoned absolutism: it's just that you seem to think that absolutism means parents get to do whatever they want.

And you still haven't explained how it can possibly mean anything else. Absolutism is absolutism.

That's a matter of opinion.

So is everything.

Of course, the question originally asked in this thread was whether tobacco companies should be allowed to give free cigarettes to children.

And you went beyond that question:

Quote by: Chanc You falsely assume that just because we don't want the government regulating every aspect of our lives and don't want the government taking our parental responsibilities and authority that we automatically support tobacco companies (or breweries or distilleries) giving free samples of their products to young children. If a parent wants to do that sort of thing, that's up to the parent.
