I agree and the smokers should be more upfront about it instead of hiding behind such rethoric that the government is going for a power grab.

Ray, is this a power grab? Is it the government? Do birds fly? Is the sky blue?

How in the hell can this little hitler justify banning the transport of a LEGAL commodity through the post office?

Yet ANOTHER WORTHLESS public "servant". We know what this is really about. The state is having DT's and other assorted tax dollar withdrawal symptoms.

Thanks 'fag' for cleaning-up what I really think of you and your buttin' in to a my legitimate search for a link to use against Ms. Collins and her Kalifornia-like mentality.

"We have $4 gas coming. Islamicist are plotting our distruction from within and without. The Mexican border is wide open and 10's of Millions of them are here illegally and this stupid TWIT is worried about cigarettes.

What a country"

Where do idiots like this and the cpa come from? Should we abandon some of our conservative values because we are at war? This person doesn't have conservative values to begin with. I've said it before and I'll say it again, anyone who is for the nanny state is NO conservative. They are just playing one online. Idiots who don't like smoke or smokers and turn to the nanny state to stamp it out are worthless. I say this as a FORMER smoker. Don't like the smoke? Go somewhere else. I will NEVER impose my choices on others, too bad these idiots can't say the same.

I wonder if hydroponics would work. If so, you could triple your annual crop.

Love that tagline.


"I will NEVER impose my choices on others, too bad these idiots can't say the same."

How they show their ugly faces, at least to me, is in the fact that they have had smokers threw out of about everyplace that there is, but it's never good enough for the worshippers of nanny-state. They are never satisfied until they can impose their beliefs on you, no matter what they may be. They're nothing but the new control-freak puritans.


You're right,they are worthless.

That's right!  And do you know we don't even have an Interstate that runs the full length of Maine?  It ends in Houlton.  It's another two lane, winding road on up to Presque Isle, Ft. Kent, etc.

Maine has so many little pet programs they waste money on, they can't even get the money together to complete the Interstate.  It's disgusting.  Truckers HATE coming up here!  And I don't blame them.

And you get your vehicle up to 55 for a few minutes then you come to a berg, and have to slow down to 30.  Then back up to 55 for a few minutes then here comes another berg.  It's horrible.

You must have grown up in the same time frame as me.  Live and let live.

Today, we have all these little groups that want to change everyone's life to suit their own.  I've never seen the likes of it.

And we can buy cigarettes but are made to feel like a leper for using them.  It's a sad state we are in now.
