Smokers Fed Up With Prices Take to Cyberspace

"Like other Native American reservation-based operations, Smoke Signals offers smokes tax-free, a considerable discount over prices in many states that have recently upped cigarette taxes to pay for declining budget revenues."

"I'm very concerned about the selling of cigarettes online because of the ease that children can buy them," said Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., co-chair of the Congressional Internet Caucus. "That's an issue we need to address.""

Oh I'm SURE parents give their credit card to the kids so they can buy cigarettes over the net. Oh I'm sure!"

Oh sure for the RINO Bob Goodlatte its all for the children. What he's really upset at is the lowly peasants are thumbing their nose to the lords of the manor in the goobermint. How dare they!!!

15% of all smokers will develop lung cancer, which is 95%fatal.

92% of all lung cancers are smoking related.

Would you get in your car and drive if you had a 15% chance of dying?

The warnings on cigarette packs are pathetic.

Taxes are pathetic as well, the state governments taking blood money.

People should be free to smoke, but they should all of the facts.
