Obama signed a new law that will give the feds a tighter grip over the tobacco industry (although not as tight as the grip nicotine seems to have on so many Americans, including the bill-signer).
“Almost 90 percent of all smokers began at or before their 18th birthday,” Obama said at a White House ceremony before signing the bill.
“I know — I was one of these teenagers, and so I know how difficult it can be to break this habit when it’s been with you for a long time.”
