Can you imagine how cheesed off the military will be if they aren’t allowed to use tobacco?

I imagine most of them are kind of P O’d enough already considering who’s in charge.

“And why are they banning all flavored cigarettes except menthols?”

Because menthol is huge money.

My son doesn’t believe second hand smoke is as deadly as they say.

The huge, suppressed, meta-study by the WHO agrees with your son.

I didn’t tell him that either.

He came up with it on his own.

He’ll be 13 next month.

I’m proud of him.

I have been smoking since I was 13 and am now 70. No lung problems, no breathing problems, a touch of arthritis and a few bouts of unstable angina over the past year...I purchased enough pounds of tobacco to last me at least a year before they taxed it...I roll my how...Not giving the sob in Washington 25 dollars a pound for taxes is the only motivation I have for stopping a habit I enjoy..Hope they all got to he!!. :O) bunch of leaches....

Well tobacco just has a passe feel to it.

I’m focusing my energies on outdoor grill bans and stopping the wanton consumption of animal protein, both almost as bad as tabak.
