...tobacco actually tastes really good.

So does beer. I'm holding on tight.

I used to smoke Djarums when I did smoke, a long time ago. One every few hours was enough. People always smelled them and thought they were pot.

Next the Democrats will go after Colt45 and Mad Dog.

Guns and pit bulls?

Marlboro Menthol here I come.

Could mean a tax break. (Maybe the last one on earth!)

If this is Congress's first foray into tobacco regulation, then why has BATFE had a "t" in it for decades?

The government has been able to control its taxation and its interstate shipment -- not its contents.

[coloradan]

But isn’t that “regulation?” Isn’t the whole point of the vastly overexpansive commerce clause the “regulation” of interstate commerce?

Could mean a tax break.

Great. I have to take a drag on a peppermint stick for a tax break. Thanks. :-)

One night on Leno Robin Williams was mocking Obama after the election where Obama announces there will be Newports and grape juice served in the rose garden after the swearing in.

if one is a smoker that is a true statement

[IncPen]

When I was a kid you had to start smoking cold turkey.

Kids today don’t know how good they have it. They get the gum, then the patch. Heck, they’re hooked before they ever light up!

[Nailbiter]

do not worry when we get NHS, smokers will be cut off from health care
