Thereby creating a new black market and new black victims like Eric Garner who was choked to death by a cop because he resisted arrest for selling untaxed cigarettes in 2014 NYC.

“The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to ban the sale of flavored tobacco products.”

50,000 homeless people. Decaying infrastructure. City dwellers and businesses fleeing to the ‘burbs and other states. Rampant drug and violent crime.

And this is the hill where they’re planting their flag?

LOL.

C.S. Lewis expressed it beautifully:

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

...This very kindness stings with intolerable insult.

To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”
