“The increase on pipe tobacco is next.”

Harry Reid will get that for you somehow.
Freeloading 99%ers are always looking for ‘somebody else’ to pay for their government freebies.

Currently, it is still lawful to grow your own.

It is also legal to make your own lemonade, but it is illegal to sell it or allow anyone else to consume it, so be careful.

The Fifth Amendment provides that private property shall not be taken without just compensation.

Why is this not a "taking"?

Nope, not going to be careful. That time is over.

I'm going to be abusive to jerks that try to take basic freedoms that have been here since the Mayflower landed. ;)

Would you care for a home-made beer? I'd swap a few for a pound of backstrap.

Who said I was addicted to tobacco. I don’t smoke, smartass. I just support smoker freedom.

So you just pimp death?

And you pimp nanny statism. I prefer the former.

I don't smoke either but I'm completely OK if someone wishes to indulge. At home, or in a bar or a restaurant. Let the owners/users decide.

It's NONE of my damn business, nor is it any anti-tobacco fanatic's, either.

I am 100% against this, but I wish these articles would be more clear as to the type of machines. I have been discussing this with my smoke shop owner and he believes that it is only for the “mass producers” located in the smoke shops and NOT for the RYO machines that we use in our homes.

That said, I am sure it is just a matter of time before they hit our home machines. Stock up now!

Your smoke shop owner is correct. This has been happening piecemeal in various places and it is the usual suspects (namely Philip Morris) that are pushing this to force these small smoke shops to be labelled manufacturers for taxation purposes.

Do you know if the ammendment discussed in this article named a specific brand of machine or did they name a machine capacity?

It’d be interesting....If it is the latter, I can see many ways to overcome that little hurdle. If the former, then I could see a lawsuit coming...

Nice to see you FRiend. To bad it is on these types of threads with certain liberty stealing FReepers.
