I was reluctant to post this, because much like anything else that involves conservative thought, it requires time, thoughtfulness, reflection and wisdom.
It really doesn't jibe with liberals making decisions based on "feelings". This was an interview with the former Winston Man. It has something to appeal to smoker and tobacco haters as well as freedom lovers. Fascinating interview. I just listened to it.
Ditto all drug bans.

Smoke 'em if you've got 'em!
I'm more of a 'Marlboro Man' kind of gal, myself.
I’m no fan of the anti-smoking fascists, but could you explain why you refer to them as “modern eugenicists”? I can see applying that label to a pro-abortionist, but I’m just not seeing the parallel you are drawing in this case.
I don’t hate tobacco. I enjoy it very much.
But smoking was detrimental to my enjoyment of sports and the outdoors. I like being able to run. And, I like to breathe. So I quit 12 years ago. Cold Turkey.
Then, a few years ago, I started dipping. But jeeze, it’s really bad for your teeth and gums, gives you horrible breath amd sores in my mouth are not my idea of a great habit. So I quit cold turkey again. I feel a lot better. My athletic performance is measurably better (I record all of my crossfit workouts). Hunting Elk is a HECK of a lot easier physically.
Nictoine is a drug. A powerful drug. To deny that is ignorant.
That being said...
MAN OH MAN!!! Do I ever enjoy tobacco...I would love nothing more than a glass of bourbon and lip full of Copenhagen....
How do I listen to or watch this? The link goes nowhere.
Thanks Eric! Bookmarking for careful read.
