Nice, family oriented advertising, LOL.

Well, if Obama is pulling the strings, and Obama likes menthol (as suggested by a poster who said he excluded menthol when he went after flavored tobacco), then he’ll keep it around.

As someone else pointed out, this is a black market opportunity looking for a place to happen-apparently democrats have never heard about these things called “prohibition” and the resulting black market run by the “mafia”-they are clueless and greedy for power...

As someone who does like an occasional glass of wine or a beer-usually with dinner-and a cigarette or two after that dinner while watching TV, sitting on the deck enjoying the night, etc-I really don’t care what adults do as long as they are not stealing, murdering, raping, etc-and the f***ing governmnent has no business getting into their business-my body, my choice-isn’t that what liberals always say?

As a workers comp case manager, I also have had my share of clients who have been addicted to something either before or after injury-pain and/or psychotropic meds, illicit drugs-meth, heroin, coke, etc, fetish oriented and/or plain heterosexual sex, and most commonly-food-sugar and carbs-it is hell; to try to get a food addict to go to therapy to change their behavior-drug and sex addicts are easy in comparison-habits are not diseases that become addictions-individuals make a CHOICE to allow a habit to become an addiction/compulsion-no one forces you to eat the whole cake or pizza, drink the whole bottle of wine or Bourbon, take the Vicodan when you want to get high and are not in pain, tell the partner/spouse you’re at work late and go boff a stranger or two that you met on a trip or on the internet, etc. You don’t have to smoke the whole pack or carton of cigarettes, either-all things in moderation is the rule my parents taught us as kids-maybe simplistic, but it is a good rule to follow...
