Something I want to point out and insert into the discussion is that the tobacco industry is one of the largest driving forces of America's economy. What do you guys all think the ramifications will be? Or do you not feel that the tobacco industry plays that big a role?
Also in my own personal interest, I wonder what this means for hookah (shisha), which is 90% molasses and only 10% tobacco.

The person at my local shop said no, since it's mostly flavored syrup.
I'm happy people are sharing their opinions on this though.
I agree that something fishy is up, like stated.
Companies like Swisher and such are going to have problems,
but companies like Marlboro or Camel that don't have any flavored products will flourish thanks to this new rule.
