'Ban all tobacco' - US health chief >>>>>>>>>>>

AIN'T Happenin', chief........waaay to much revenue/lobbist dollars going to our government......loose tobacco dollars, and there might not be anything to cover their PORK spending habits, and they might have to REALLY balance their budget.

It's something...actually many things. All those countries treat pagents like a national pastime and the girls are revered and heavily sponsored....and it's a way out.

Plus...something about relatively pure Castillian bloodlines has something going for it. That DR chick is from a tiny minority of Euros in the DR (maybe 10-15%). That country at least around Santo Domingo has more "comfort girls" than anywhere I've been outside of Thailand...and that is an obvious economic and culture based issue. They export Dominican and some Colombian "comfort gals" all over the Caribbean and even to Europe from what I've observed....Aruba and Curacao and St Martin and even Haiti are full of them.

Anyhow...my wife and I had her pegged as the winner from the getgo...and Venezuela as #2. Both were awesome looking gals.

Look for the Baltic States chicks and The Czech, Croat and Hungarian, Romanian, and Serbian gals to start landing at the top pretty steady too in the coming years.

Just my 2 cents as an ex-world traveler.

While we're on cigars...lol....nite!

Czech girls are the prettiest on the continent, imo. Walking around Prague definitely stretches the neck muscles.

[Mr. Mojo]

Goddess-like.

No, just plain Goddess.

Terrorists will get so much illegal tobacco money they won't know what to do with it all --

If I remember correctly, there were some arrests of illegal Middle Eastern immigrants in Dearborn, MI, post-September-11-2001. They were running a cigarette smuggling operation from North Carolina back to Michigan...

Smokers, unless we start really acting up, this will be the reality. Please write, fax and phone anyone you can think of and object to this moron's diatribe. Don't forget the White House while you're at it. Enough is enough.

If alcohol is any indicator, it will take a constitutional amendment to ban it since it has the same prevalence in society. I would bet they would try to pass a regular law, however, given that they care nothing about right or wrong or the rule of law and the ends justify the means no matter what.

I think the FDA could just declare tobacco a drug and make it a schedule I.

IOW, Congress has already delegated probationary authority to the Executive branch.

Mr Leroy, is this correct?

[MrLeRoy]

I don't know. I seem to recall Klintoon's FDA chief making noises about assuming jurisdiction over tobacco---but obviously nothing came of that.

We have an ineffective and very expensive war of drugs. Now we can look forward to an effective and very expensive war on tobacco.

Interesting that none of the usual pro-WODdies have shown up to deny that the War On Tobacco is a logical offshoot of the War On Some Drugs.

[jmc813]

Thoughts?

[jjm2111]

What's this prohibition three? Why doesn't the government mandate that we brush our teeth after every meal?

[MrLeRoy]

They're still working on dictating what we must not do---dictating what we must do comes later.

[Just another Joe]

PUFF!

[Cultural Jihad]

Thoughts?

There is nothing inherently immoral about using tobacco products.

[jmc813]

Should they ban it?

[jjm2111]

"---dictating what we must do comes later. " I can't wait.
