“These dinky cars are too small for people like me. The government is going to force us to drive small, battery-powered unsfae vehicles but they will be cute.

“Too often we should be careful about being cute here on the House floor. So cute means the reference with regard to lettuce…Do you realize if you were to take that lettuce, dry it, and roll it and smoke it…Do you realize that you are going to end up with the same problems than if you were smoking tobacco. It’s not the nicotine that kills. It’s the smoke that kills.”
-Rep. Steve Buyer, R-Illl., on the floor Friday morning debating regulation for tabacco products.
