Name of the author and company intentionally redacted because this is not an advertisement by me for them. I am not a tobacco user, but this situation offends me more than I can put into print on a website like this. This is unAmerican and unConstitutional.

How's that hopey-changey thing working out for ya?

I’m quitting as soon as my stock runs out.
They can extort someone else.
I’m encouraging them to go after the obese and the homosexuals. They are a bigger health risk anyway.

I quit cigarettes several years ago for health reasons. But the fact of the matter is that this tax, like all sin taxes, is a regressive measure that falls disproportionately on the poor and working class. Most of your white wine sipping college grad Obama voters don’t smoke and regard those who do as troglodytes deserving of punishment. Here it is.

“First they came for the cigar smokers. I said nothing because I was not a cigar smoker...”

Alcohol next on the list?

I’ve laid in a 4 year supply of my favorite cigars. Hopefully this will get repealed with the new administration, like the luxury tax.

Forget about Tea Parties.
Replace one dried leaf specie for another:

Time for Tobacco Parties.

Grow your own tobacco and pay no taxes at all. It’s easy and you get a lot per plant. Processing is tricky, but there are instructions all over the web. Nice looking plants as well if you let them flower

Nanny State Ping.

Thanks to Sauropod for providing a great break down on the tax increase.

Tomorrow my husband will be picking up some more sterile potting medium so we can get our tobacco seeds started in the greenhouse. Right coolbreeze???????
