I smoke, will continue to smoke and I’m growing my own tobbaco. I have 150 plants set out and they are doing great. After I cure them and use what I want and next years crop comes in I’m gonna’ give away what’s left to the smokers here in this area. F*#k the b*stards, their regulations and their taxes!

Duncan is correct, as usual. I think this GOP is finally done. Stick a fork in ‘em. Right in the eye.

It’s sick Kabuki theater. Politicians love the punitive taxes and the high moral ground that comes with punishing Big Tobacco. But if they are so virtuous, just outlaw it already.

As far as regulation of content. Yeah, what’s different between this or trans-fat activism.

If the government can now decide what chemicals go into cigarettes and it allows, even one, that is known to be bad for you, cause cancer, etc…are they now not the de facto peddlers of death themselves?

Telling a company it cannot advertise is prohibition in spirit if not the letter of the law. Replace “cigarettes” with “alcohol” or “hamburgers” and you can see exactly where this is going.
