A bit flawed?

Alcohol related deaths and societal problems are nothing short of a scourge and yet we celebrate it

This dip ban is pure nonsense

25 years of Chaw and dip, finally quit, very hard to do but it was getting too expensive and I developed some polyps in my mouth which gave me a scare but even after 20 years of no tobacco I still get a craving at times.

My husband chewed for 50 years and never had a problem. His grandfather chewed for less time than that and died of cancer of the jaw.

Get poked in the A$$ and get aids. Then spread it to all the boys at the Bath Houses. But I can't enjoy a pinch of tobacco at a ballpark?
Enjoy your overpriced crap and lousy talent.

Next, they’ll be banning second hand spit.

Longhorn natural fine cut mimics Cope at one quarter the price

Red Seal plain is made by same folks as Cope and cost about a third of Cope

Cope unflavored in either fine or long cut is the gold standard but it’s expensive in Nashville area

4-5 bucks

Longhorn if you buy the tub is a dollar a can

Dip is very common in the white parts of middle TN except hipster east Nashville

I was just at super posh Rosemary beach Florida at local market and even they carry a decent array of dip

In the south, woods love their dip regardless of income

I used to chew long ago and dip a bit

My sons group in Williamson county TN mostly dip...some vape

And a few blacks dip too....cowboy blacks

And people especially women were thinner

And you could have decent sex in the backseat

Today you’d have to be 23rd degree yoga master in these cars

“Not only that but secondhand smoke carries health risks to innocent bystanders, including death from cancer. “

I doubt that is true when exposed outdoors.

It is not true anywhere.

The "study" used by our worthless Government was actually a Meta Study. An analysis/compilation of several different studies. They cherry-picked the studies used to get the results they wanted and thus the results are totally useless.

There is no real scientific or statistical correlation between second hand smoke and cancer.
