Tobacco dates back to 6,000 B.C.

Idiotic politicians and other “leaders” were around even then.... :-(

I am a "criminal" who buys Cuban cigars--yup they _ended_ it, all right. :-)

There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.

I’m a big believer in the effectiveness of E-cigs to aid in quitting smoking but I take no issue with Walmart on this.

Politicians and local authorities are passing laws, regulations, etc making it a minefield to sell the things. If it becomes more trouble than it’s worth to offer them for sale, don’t.

Gee, even some Freepers are really good at parroting the lying hysteria-mongers without questioning their fake numbers, if the subject is “450,000 smoking deaths”. Good grief. For this well-informed group of people, that’s strange.

That’s OK - they tout the vapes as a “safer” method when they are actually more addictive because they allow massive amounts of nicotine to be ingested....seen folks exhaling a single drag from a vape with more “smoke” than a whole cigarette would produce.

You should not post about things you are ignorant about. You can vape all day, nonstop and not inhale any nicotine. You can decide on the amount of nicotine content in your vape juice.

Yeah - I’m sure most of the folks never use vaping as a way to ingest nicotine - and nobody ever tweaks it up for the “extra jolt”.
Sorry FRiend, but if you think the tobacco companies are pushing vaping hard and heavy is just because folks like the flavor (like with beer and wine and whiskey products...Mmmmmmm Good! I just like the taste is why I drink so much) and not to get them hooked on the product, you are the ignorant one - and evidently nicely hooked.
