Gee I wonder why back in the 1600’s boats were financed to trek to Virginia? I wonder HOW long humans have enjoyed the Tobacco plant...I wonder if anyone will ever tabulate the revenue generated by this plant and even the medicinal extractions and formulas that have been derived....I wonder If cigarette makers didn’t get sued to the hilt if the 52 states and (scumbag) lawyers would still exist....I wonder if states that tax a pack of 20 cigarettes 5-6 dollars will exist if tobacco was outlawed? I wonder what real tobacco unadulterated tastes like ? ( I do know this as I buy my tobacco by the pound Tax class L) I wonder what if the black market for cigarettes will ever abate?...tobacco is a commodity whereas E-cigarettes are liquid concoctions that emit unknown complex carcinogins and raw untouched air dried pipe tobacco can be very enjoyable . I use a machine to produce my own cigarettes with this “pipe” tobacco and not only is it dirt cheap (about.75-.90 a day , I smoke about 10-15 cigs a day) I have found the flavor is very enjoyable and now if I even taste a store bought smoke I find them to be nasty and flavorless...Tobacco is not the problem ADULTERATED and chemically tweaked tobacco is.
Tobacco dates back to 6,000 B.C.

Idiotic politicians and other “leaders” were around even then.... :-(
