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?
What People
Who Don't Smoke Look Like |
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 smokingbenefits 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 remarkablecancer 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.
This article implies that Bozo created thousands of jobs driving vehicles smuggling tobacco into the US and an army of regulators to enforce the new rules. It would be funny if it wasn’t true.
Read the article, he says Bozo created smuggling jobs, driving tobacco trucks into the country! It isn’t meant as a compliment to Bozo.
I think the fact that it is true is what makes it funny.
[[Youre taking your chances with smoking.]]
Yeah I know- but just can’t give em up- I quite drinking cold turkey- drugs cold turkey- but ciggs- I’ve tried for about 20 years now to quit oiff and on- oh well- gonna just enjoy hte ride while it last- take my nedicine if it comes
LOL!
Only 7% of smokers get lung cancer so it would not be a small percentage.
You seem to have a bizarre interest in strangers' penises Why would you care?
How does that make you feel?
Lol- we should al lsend that questionaier to Barack Obummer
Try the electronic cigarette. I’m not pimping their product but it’s a Godsend.
Just another example of capitalists and inventors kicking tyranny up and down the sidewalk for public amusement.
[[Only 7% of smokers get lung cancer so it would not be a small percentage. ]]
So only 7% of me is goign to get cancer? Cool! I choose to get it in my big toe.
This week did you make your quota and recruit any teenagers to start smoking?
Mine sure works. Works just fine.
I did try it Eric- Couldn’t stand it- I smoked just as many real ciggs when using hte thing- I just couldn’t get it through my pea-brain that I was gettting the nic from the things my body ‘needed’, and I was actually overdosing- I tried all sorts of custom made vaping juices- some I even made my self- bout a large bottle of the main ingredient (can’t remember hte name now- but it’s the stuff bakers use for candies actually) and tried several different brands of eciggs, ecigars from Ruyan (which actually weren’t too bad- but still I smoked real ciggs), and e-pipe as well- still got them all- sitting collecting dust- To me, they just don;’t cut hte mustard as far as replacing hte real thing I’m afraid
At present, the only legal way to smoke the real 'gift of gods' is to buy additive free natural tobacco (several companies make these) and stuff or roll your own (see RYO intro here and forum here).
Another damaging effect you suffered, judging from your other comments here, was witch doctor effect -- your belief and fear that smoking was harming you was in fact killing you. Being civilized you may believe yourself immune to such primitive effect (which can kill only some superstitious savages). In fact, you are likely as awed by the "science" of our modern medicine men as any naked savage ever was by the "powers" and knowledge of his medicine men. The chronic stress of believing deeply, as you seem to do, that each puff is peeling away your life force, killing you bit by bit, is doing the same kind of damage that kills some savage after his medicine man points a monkey bone at him, shakes it, telling him he will die (unless he submits and pays up to lift the death curse, which is roughly what our medicine men are doing to smokers). Our medicine men use more modern props than monkey bone, but the physiology behind the effectiveness of such 'death curse' is exactly the same for you as it is for the any 'naked savage'. In fact, this deadly effect in modern settings has been quantified on none other than smokers and the 'death curse' upon them:
The 72 who answered 'yes', while admitting that their views were taken from information in the media, had an almost three times higher death rate at the end of 13 years than those who were not so influenced.
Fear can kill. This has been known since disease was first studied. We are entitled to wonder how many people have been killed more by the fear of 'smoking related diseases' than by any actual disease itself. (from a book "Murder a Cigarette: the Smoking Debate" by J. Hatton, R. Harris)
[[This week did you make your quota and recruit any teenagers to start smoking?]]
If I was a teenager- I’d start smoking just to piss you off- just for the hell of it- Even if it killed me, it’d still be worth it watchign antismokers froth at hte mouth abotu smokers.
This week did you make your quota and recruit any teenagers to start smoking?
Drango, I don't know if you realize it but this is the first real progress that we have made in your treatment. You have finally admitted your real issue. We are getting closer to the cause of your psychosis. This is real progress.
Teenagers can't afford to smoke and you can't do it in any trendy clubs now. They just do coke and ecstasy instead.
How does that make you feel?
[[three times higher death rate at the end of 13 years than those who were not so influenced.]]
They died on the third floor eh?
I’m a newbie when it comes to e-cigs. I’m not really interested in or prepared for a debate on RYO vs e cigs. I think you and Randall would have a great discussion.
I’m trying to treat a very sick patient right now. I’m on call.
