That's funny. I've seen the popularity of these products with certain groups. And it isn't "kids."

Are you implying that the Senators could be.....racist?

Justa little FYI or if you will, a FWIW ....

People ( myself included ) have switched from smoking cigarettes to smoking “little cigars”.
They come in a pack of 20 for less than 2 bucks a pack and come in all sorts of flavors from mild, menthol, full flavor, grape, peach, vanilla and cherry.

I know a *** lot *** of people who are smoking these “little cigars” and that is exactly what they’re called.

The reason they’re under 2 bucks a pack ( of 20 )is that the tobacco is a longer cut or aka pipe tobacco.

If you didnt know any better, you’d think they’re a pack of some unknown or generic cigarette until you read the pack.

Democrats are not so much elected by the American people as they are inflicted upon them.

Nanny State PING!

All Dimocrats.

The first question to ask is, why do they now have it in for Bill Clinton?

If The Founding Fathers (old white men) had not been so busy running their slave-staffed plantations, I am sure they would have banned the Flavored Cigar.

As is proven by scientific research, Flavored Cigars are a special danger to Minorities, Single Mothers, Children, and are targeted directly at the LGBTG community. They also can cause cancer among Native Americans. It is a tragedy fully worthy of a Ken Burns Video and Digitally Enhanced Slide Show.

But then again, these at-risk groups are also in special danger of complete annihilation by Global Warming (as if the Republicans cared). Perhaps it might make Public Health sense to actually distribute Flavored Cigars (and tasty, fatty fast food) amongst them to try and make their last moments more pleasant.

If my Stimulus Fund Grant comes through, I shall report on this theory to you.

Have these morons smoked a cigar? they really think little Johnny will do that twice because the thing had strawberry flavoring? And are these morons not aware that people under 18 can’t buy cigars anywhere in the USA?

Cheyenne, RedBucks and Westforts. The westforts took the place of the 1839’s at my little gas station. And I like em better than the 1839’s ~!

There was one brand called Noble that I was getting for 80 cents a pack but they went out of business earlier this year. WAHHHH.

Perhaps......but the observation probably makes me one, as well.

“Cigars with candy-like flavorings such as strawberry, watermelon, vanilla and chocolate attract kids to smoking and help hook them on this addictive habit,” the Senators wrote.

I guess that would explain all the kids I see smoking cigars....oh, wait.....

“Democrats just love this stuff. They think the government is smarter than the rest of us, and needs to protect us. It’s absolutely frightening to realize how these people think.”

And by making you privy to that way of thinking, he is openly admitting to you that he is stupid or lazy or most likely both. If he actually believes that the government is smarter than he is and should run his life, then he is admitting that he is dumber than anyone who is smart enough to manage their own lives.
