When I was in school in the 90s, like early 90s, it was at the height of the war against smoking.

They'd have animals smoking cigarettes on the walls and saying how stupid it looked.

That's perfect politician word salad.

Right.

What else?

Smoking.

How about that?

Not as a political issue, do you get bothered by smoking?

Because when I grew up, there were still smoking sections in diners and stuff, and I don't think it bothered me back then, but now that I'm not used to it, when I'm around smoking, it bothers me more than I used to.

No, it's not the government's place to say anything about it.

Donald Trump in the news also, he says he's seriously considering making Venezuela the 51st state.
