here’s a thought, let the attorney generals concetrate on ILLEGAL drugs and CRIME and quit trying to be my mother.
Cigarette taxes are a major source of revenue for many states so banning their sales will likely mean lower tax revenues and the need to raise taxes elsewhere including on non smokers. Minnesota has dramatically raised cigarette taxes to partially fund a new stadium for the Minnesota Vikings and is already struggling as cigarette tax revenues are less than expected.
I can already see where these scumbags are going with this. They want to set up cigarette shops like the pothead shops in WA and
CO and then “tax the hell” out of cigarettes they way they are taxing the potheads.
IS IT LEGAL???? IF IT IS,JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!
These AGs must really hate choomer puffers.
Unless they’re hypocrites.
How about alcohol? If they are successful in this asinine demand, how long will it take until they use the same “logic” to demand they stop selling candy,bread,and meats,
Ping.
Why don’t they pressure all retailers to stop selling tobacco? Why don’t they outlaw possession? Something to think about.
Why not urge them to stop selling knives and hammers. Both of those have caused the deaths of many Democrats. How about all those OTC drugs....abuse of most anything can cause death. Eating too much broccoli would probably kill most people - ban broccoli now!
I don’t smoke, so o can sign a executive order and watch smokers become politically active. New voters for the right. Ever see a smoker forced to stop? They can be mean.

Go ahead, knuckle under to Big Government.
Next, they’ll tell you which foods you can sell, and demand you only stock sugar-free beverages and no salty snacks and tell you how and when, or not, to vend all your other products.
Mooshelle tried that with school lunches, and it didn’t go over very well.
We have an entire nation stuck on stupid, and the government is niggling over nicotine.
They’ll get my cigar when they pry it from my cold, nicotine stained fingers. :)
The commissariat needs serious wing clipping.
Had Enough Yet ?
Just curious, but I wonder about the state these AG’s represent and how dependent they and their programs have become on tobacco product taxes and just how they expect to replace those funds?
The junk food and alcohol can stay, however.

I suggest that 28 attorney’s general take a vacation and fly Air Malaysia.
