The people gave up there right to smoke decades ago. See what happens when you have a phony war on drugs?
This seems to be a preliminary intrusion into “Health Care” and their control of health issues. Please beware, they will soon ban other items - sugar content, fat content, etc..., plan ahead...
The local SWAT team will soon be making a no knock raid on your home to take your humidor.
Let’s see how long it takes for the tobaccophobes to get on this thread...
PING!
As a Smoker... I protest. You are right of course - regardless of the problem (perceived), the government always has an answer...

Oh yes.
That answer typically exacerbates the problem while costing five to ten times the original estimates.
No prob.
It’s just a term I made up to describe them.
They’ll show up on this thread soon, though.
Thanks, Hey...disregard those that belong with the Liberal thought (It’s okay to banish that if I agree) crowd. They will eventually get theirs when the Obama crowd punctures their balloon...
