The jobs are risky, but very lucrative for those willing to take the risks, and require no previous experience or special training. Almost anyone with a driver's license (or at least the ability to drive) can do this job.
How did Obama do it?

This is very important legislation. It is obvious that tobacco is something a lot of people want to use (which is what the government is counting on), and will continue to use no matter what regulations are put in place, which the government knows perfectly well, but will now be able to increase taxes on and control the distribution of this almost endless revenue producing product.
And it will create two whole new classes of jobs: 1) the army of regulators that will be needed to control tobacco production, distribution, and sales, and 2) the army of tobacco smugglers that this much more profitable version of tobacco (like alcohol during prohibition) will create. Definitely a win-win proposition for employment.
Almost as Good as Global Warming
For the government, the Smoking lies have been almost as good as the Global Warming lies, just not as big. Of all the so-called science proving all the terrible things smoking does, there is no hard-science at all. It is all exactly the same kind of junk-science (surveys and statistics) used to put over the Global Warming scam.
Almost everyone buys it. It's why fools like American Heart Association CEO Nancy Brown can say things like, "The Senate vote is a significant victory for all Americans as we try to reduce the devastating toll tobacco use has inflicted on our communities." When you are driving around your community, keep a sharp eye out for all those heaps of dead bodies and collapsed buildings tobacco is inflicting on your town.
The truth does not matter to these people, especially if they can use their junk science to keep people terrified — don't smoke or you'll die from cancer or heart disease; don't go out in the sun or you'll get skin cancer and die; don't drive without a seat-belt or you'll have an accident and die. Does no one think that perhaps it is not too good for you to be terrified of every blessed thing that exists?
The Smoking Truth
The primary truth is, it would not matter if smoking a cigarette would kill you without fail before nightfall, it is wrong for any government to prevent the production, sale, and use of anything that all individuals involved freely choose to do. There is ultimately only one reason cigarettes (and most other substances) are regulated at all and that is the belief that some people have a right to force other people to do what they think is best for them; and they cannot bear that some people might actually be enjoying their lives without their interference.

The truth is that hard science, that is real science, does not identify a single confirmed health issue with tobacco, but does find huge numbers of medical benefits. You will not find that in any MSM sources, because they have become an arm of government terrorism force. In fact, however, all the excuses for regulating tobacco are lies. Tobacco is used because people enjoy it. They would not use it if they didn't, and doing something you enjoy is good for you. But there are even greater benefits of smoking—benefits the government and its well-controlled media are intentionally hiding. Among those benefits are the following:

OH, and while you enjoy that smoke, be sure to have a nice glass of red wine. "The breadth of [its] benefits is remarkable—cancer prevention, protection of the heart and brain from damage, reducing age-related diseases such as inflammation, reversing diabetes and obesity, and many more."
Smoke, drink, and be merry. You'll be happier and you'll live longer.
Gubmint will do what it always does when it runs a business....run it into the ground.
Then when nobody buys the crappy product, they’ll tax something else....fast food, burgers, fries.
As I understand it, there are two types of asbestos, one relatively harmless, and one carcinogenic. The harmless type is about 90 percent of the total amount of asbestos, if I remember correctly.
I’m fighting the doctor mill thing now in regards to statins.
My LDL is high according to the current numbers, but so is my HDL and my triglycerides are low.
I do NOT think that I need to be on statins considering their side effects but boy, doctors don’t like to be challenged.
Seems like it would be much simpler to just buy a pack of cigarettes.
Who cares what it is as long as it works.\?
If you don't want to be around smokers, stay away.
Smokers will appreciate it.
Why not just skip all the B.S. and smoke a cigarette?
I know what you mean. I refuse to take drugs unless I am convinced I need them.
Unlike you, I presume..../s
If you don't want to be around smokers, stay away.
If you don't want to be around non-smokers, stay away.
Smokers will appreciate it.
Non-smokers will as well.
All your complaints about non-smokers go both ways for smokers, too.
Everyone feel better now?
“We are now told we have a “civil right” to healthcare. The sheeple just lap that up. What they don’t realize is the single-payor system is guaranteed to lead to rationing of healthcare services,..”
Actually, they don’t realize the truly evil inevidbility of government health care. The reality is that when the government is in charge of an individual’s health care, then they are immediately given control of that individual’s physical being. No longer will that individual be allowed to persue their own happiness, no longer will they be able to even enjoy liberty.
A more complete destruction of individual freedom could not be found. This is about fascism, pure and simple. The sad part is that you are correct, the sheeple are clammoring for the government to take dictatorial control of their physical being.
Like so many sheep being led to the slaughter....
Don't you just want to "whup them up the side of the head" and scream, WAKE UP!!!?
Great post, CSM. Thank you!
The only way we will restore our constitutional and God given rights, short of total social and economic collapse, is to awaken the smokers to the scientific truth about smoking -- antismoking is a money making scam by big pharma and its stooges resting entirely on junk science. In contrast, the hard science (experiments, randomized trials) has demonstrated in thousands of research papers that tobacco smoke is not only harmless but it is the single most beneficial health supplement and youth elixir, synthetic or natural, humans have ever known. For fellow smokers entering the thread here, check earlier posts and links given there: post1, post2, post 3, post4.
The sooner we spread the word about these facts, the sooner we will see smoking restored to its natural place, where it was when USA was at its best. The negative social attitude toward smoking coincides with national decline, economic and cultural (since such upside down perception of reality is a sign of general scientific and moral corruption which in turn results in national decline), while the positive attitude (such as that of present day China, or Japan in 1980s) of rising nations.
This pattern mimics on a large scale the effects of tobacco smoke on an individual smoker -- just recall the revitalizing effect of taking a smoke break after hours of hard or stressful work where you were prohibited from smoking. Nations are social organisms and these organisms are smokers (note that just as only some subset of your cells interacts directly with tobacco smoke particles, so does only a subset of cells of the social organism, smokers, interacts with them at that level).
Our nation is already overdue for a 'smoke break' and in few years you will see the social perception of smoking make a 180 degree turn and swing back, reaching likely even higher than it was in 1940s and 1950s. Before that happens, though, the smokers themselves will have to learn the real scientific facts about smoking, which will break the spell of antismoking brainwashing and help them shake off the chains of the present propaganda matrix. So, spread the word -- Smoking is good for you.

I actually do quite often, figurativel of course. I am now known as a radical and I am probably on several “watch” lists....
I am now known as a radical and I am probably on several “watch” lists....
If one is classified as a "radical" by one's own government because one loves and peaceably upholds and defends the Constitution of the United States that every federal officer of all three branches, and every member of the military forces swears an oath of allegiance to — then what? What makes any "sense" after that?
My own brother declares me a "radical." He says I live at "too high a level of abstraction." That's a good 'un!
My brother is blind to what's coming if the American people do not WAKE UP from their sweet slumber....
Sigh. We just do what we can, when we can.
Thanks so much for writing, CSM!
“Sigh. We just do what we can, when we can.”
While we quietly prepare for the impending war, of ideals or worse.
“Thanks so much for writing, CSM!”
No problem. Keep your chin up. Remember, only about 30% of the population supported the statement below, until the radicals were victorious. Celebrate their bravery in 12 wake ups.
“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

Remember that those who signed in agreement risked losing all, including their lives. I read an Iranian “tweet” this weekend, that was scrolling on Fox or CNN, and it said the following,
“I have one vote, I gave it to Moussari. I have one life, I will give it for freedom.”
It is chilling how comfortable we are in our warm pots....
