The jobs are risky, but very lucrative for those willing to take the risks, and require no previous experience or special training. Almost anyone with a driver's license (or at least the ability to drive) can do this job.
How did Obama do it?
What People
Who Don't Smoke Look Like |
This is very important legislation. It is obvious that tobacco is something a lot of people want to use (which is what the government is counting on), and will continue to use no matter what regulations are put in place, which the government knows perfectly well, but will now be able to increase taxes on and control the distribution of this almost endless revenue producing product.
And it will create two whole new classes of jobs: 1) the army of regulators that will be needed to control tobacco production, distribution, and sales, and 2) the army of tobacco smugglers that this much more profitable version of tobacco (like alcohol during prohibition) will create. Definitely a win-win proposition for employment.
Almost as Good as Global Warming
For the government, the Smoking lies have been almost as good as the Global Warming lies, just not as big. Of all the so-called science proving all the terrible things smoking does, there is no hard-science at all. It is all exactly the same kind of junk-science (surveys and statistics) used to put over the Global Warming scam.
Almost everyone buys it. It's why fools like American Heart Association CEO Nancy Brown can say things like, "The Senate vote is a significant victory for all Americans as we try to reduce the devastating toll tobacco use has inflicted on our communities." When you are driving around your community, keep a sharp eye out for all those heaps of dead bodies and collapsed buildings tobacco is inflicting on your town.
The truth does not matter to these people, especially if they can use their junk science to keep people terrified don't smoke or you'll die from cancer or heart disease; don't go out in the sun or you'll get skin cancer and die; don't drive without a seat-belt or you'll have an accident and die. Does no one think that perhaps it is not too good for you to be terrified of every blessed thing that exists?
The Smoking Truth
The primary truth is, it would not matter if smoking a cigarette would kill you without fail before nightfall, it is wrong for any government to prevent the production, sale, and use of anything that all individuals involved freely choose to do. There is ultimately only one reason cigarettes (and most other substances) are regulated at all and that is the belief that some people have a right to force other people to do what they think is best for them; and they cannot bear that some people might actually be enjoying their lives without their interference.

The truth is that hard science, that is real science, does not identify a single confirmed health issue with tobacco, but does find huge numbers of medical benefits. You will not find that in any MSM sources, because they have become an arm of government terrorism force. In fact, however, all the excuses for regulating tobacco are lies. Tobacco is used because people enjoy it. They would not use it if they didn't, and doing something you enjoy is good for you. But there are even greater benefits of smokingbenefits the government and its well-controlled media are intentionally hiding. Among those benefits are the following:

OH, and while you enjoy that smoke, be sure to have a nice glass of red wine. "The breadth of [its] benefits is remarkablecancer prevention, protection of the heart and brain from damage, reducing age-related diseases such as inflammation, reversing diabetes and obesity, and many more."
Smoke, drink, and be merry. You'll be happier and you'll live longer.
Beautiful, CSM.... Those who signed the DoI pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
They thought Liberty was worth it.
Perhaps they were just better men than we have around nowadays....
And I use "men" in the generic here i.e., including women too.
I'm "keeping my chin up," CSM! You do the same!
“I’m “keeping my chin up,” CSM! You do the same!”
I definitely will. It is the only way to keep my eye on the bastiges!
;-)
Amen! And for all the rest of it: "Jump little froggies! Jump! JUMP while you still can!!!" :^)
I agree, FRiend.
OK, I’m off to the dentist...
Oh, wait, what ever will I do without the government paying for it.....
;-)
Not until you a-holes are off the planet.
Hang out in the non-smoking places.
Leave me just one place to smoke that you would never go to in the first place.
People like you with attitudes like that are the reason why smokers get no sympathy from non-smokers as smoking is restricted in more and more places.
Reference bump! ;-)
Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!
Sweet slumber? ... More like credit drunkenness and Barry is pour more down our throats, so much that our great grand kids will be paying it off!
Left out an “ing” ... as in “pouring”. Tired fingers, must get to bed.
Thank you for the compliment.
People like me are also starting to smoke wherever and whenever they wish (again) because we're sick of your bullcrap, there aren't enough cops or firemen or whatever to enforce the rules, and the rest of this nation is like a bunch of sheep and won't do anything about it.
