Yeah *looks at the empty room* where is everybody?




Was it something I said? Whatever it was, I didn't mean it. I haven't meant anything I've said for years. Except what I just said. I think

You think it's outrageous, really?
Lol, if anything, it's strange/absurd. It is also harmless, so yeah.

True, it doesn't mean any harm, but it's a waste of time none-the-less.

Maybe absurd is the right word for it.
Isn't there other things he should be worrying about?
It's really a petty thing, yet It does upset a lot of smokers and shop keepers.

Yes, it can't be any clearer, he should be worrying about other things than kids smoking, I feel that's the most that can be said about this topic.

I personally think this is a stab at the Marijuana smoking community.

“A cigarette or any of its component parts (including the tobacco, filter, or paper) shall not contain, as a constituent (including a smoke constituent) or additive, an artificial or natural flavor (other than tobacco or menthol) or an herb or spice, including strawberry, grape, orange, clove, cinnamon, pineapple, vanilla, coconut, licorice, cocoa, chocolate, cherry, or coffee, that is a characterizing flavor of the tobacco product or tobacco smoke.”

Tobacco companies like Philly and Swisher have no doubt profited for years from the illegal marijuana industry. Marijuana users commonly purchase legal cigars to empty the tobacco and refill with marijuana. Many other tobacco companies produce “blunt wraps” which do not contain any tobacco making the rolling process easier. The “unflavored” types of these products are still legal under the new law, however the various flavors are usually preferred by most marijuana users.

It is unclear if marijuana smokers were specifically targeted under this bill or when these popular products will be pulled from stores. It is also unclear if the thousands or millions of marijuana users effected will be stocking up on these products because of the tendency for blunts to become stale after long periods of storage.

Aha! so we have a fresh topic! thank you! Well, if that was the case, it would be a very indirect stab, why not get rid of other smoking apparatuses? such as but not limited to, water pipes, pipes, dug outs, etc?

Well it could be a "kill two birds with one stone" tactic.

I'm just speculating, though.

Interesting. This is indeed a HUGE change. I was impressed by the part where the FDA can bar tobacco companies from advertising. That's pretty big.

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.
