They will probably set up their own private tobacco delivery system as they did in 1625 with the Dutch in Albany. [Trading beaverskins for tobacco and muskets.]

And what about the Native American kids that this revenue supports. It keeps them from being dependent on the fed. govt for food and housing. I swear, yo do gooders are killing this country. First you allow the EPA to drive any industry out of our country, then you want to refuse a sovereign nation their right to self governance and revenue. What is wrong with you people? Next we will be hearing of bans on fast food, and salt by folks like you. BTW you are on the wrong site.

I hear ya. It’s about freedom. Jefferson also had a lot to say about being “taxed in our meat in our drink, in our necessities and comforts, in our labors and in our amusements, for our callings and our creeds...”. But nanny control freaks cheer.

BS. This is to make sure the state and fed can rob us even more. It’s not about smoking or anybody’s health. It’s about money. And it sucks.

Really?

"The House in May passed a slightly different version of the legislation by a 397-11 margin...Passes the U.S. Senate unanimously"

All politicians are into control. It gives them a reason to live. There are posters who enjoy controlling others too.

Gee Drango, when you people succeed at banning salt, and what you call junk food, think of all the jobs you could kill then!! You must just rub you hands together and squeal with glee at the very prospect of it.

You need to get it through your head, none of this stuff is ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS, nor is it the govts, this is NO way to govern a free people. People like, both in and out of the govt make me sick.
