"A new study commissioned by the Pentagon and the Department of Veterans Affairs recommends a complete ban on tobacco, which would end tobacco sales on military bases and prohibit smoking by anyone in uniform, not even combat troops in the thick of battle."

"According to the study, tobacco use impairs military readiness in the short term. Over the long term, it can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and cardiovascular disease. The study also says smokeless tobacco use can lead to oral and pancreatic cancer."

Banning smoking to improve health. What a maniacal Idea. What about banning combat, that may improve health as well.

judging by their sense of priority i guess we are to assume that smoking is more detrimental to your health than bullets. who woulda known?

I can just see this prohibition on smoking in the military ending badly...

I wonder what they'll abuse instead, maybe alcohol, or illegal drugs, or prescription drugs. This plan was ill thought out, and ignores the fact that some times the best stress reliever is a cigarette. Of course, they aren't being completely honest and admitting that maybe the stress of being in the military may contribute to more physiological and mental damage than smoking.

Maybe they are confused and some how got to the conclusion that Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder/Syndrome is linked to smoking. Some how, with Obama and his cronies, it wouldn't surprise me.
