$5 for a pack of smokes, and $150 for the doctor visit. Which would require the doctor to violate the Hippocratic Oath in any case. (”First, do no harm.”)
New Oregon law helping the black market and loses tax money.

I liked the last line:
“I don’t expect this law to actually get passed, but if it does, I suppose it will be fun to watch an entire state implode from violent warfare brought about by the sociopathy of its politicians,” Suede wrote.
Actually, when an entire state implodes from violent warfare, history tends to consider these times “non-fun”. Mr. Suede should read Mr. Hobbes.
Let me guess, a Democrat perhaps?
Suppose hussein shows up?
Folks who sell cigarettes in states bordering Oregon would love it.
Bet the Don’t even think of opening up a bar in that sad state because you know that’s next. Bet Salem the nut that’s proposing this is a refugee from Kalifornia.
Brilliant!
Anyone out there smoke only on a weekly, monthly or even yearly basis?
Now, why or what is the basis on which a doctor would prescribe someone cigarettes?
Will these prescriptions be for a pack of fags or a carton? will there be a 2x refill option?
While we're at it, beer drinkers should get a prescription.
Bud light or light bud?
Hmmmm.... I would think smokers would be pushing for this to pass. If tobacco is a prescription item, they should be able to get the insurance companies to pay for it (thus pushing up our health care costs even more).
It makes you want to punch liberals right in the face, doesn't it?
I know a goofball that won't eat meat but he drinks milk. I asked him what they should do with the baby boy cows. He looked at me like I had asked him the explain string theory.
Just wanted to add:
Coffee drinkers,beware!
They’re coming after you next! ROFL
Oh yes, a democrat for sure looked up his website. And Oregon is now receiving $1.18 tax on every pack sold!
I'M a smoker. If I live in Nevada and drive to Oregon am I now a criminal and subject fine and inprisionment? Regardless of the answer there may be an equal protection problem.

Don’t even think of opening up a bar in that sad state because you know that’s next. Bet Cannon and Greenlick are both nuts from Kalifornia. Oregon grows other nuts besides pecans.
Apologize for double dip
“... if I live in Nevada and drive to Oregon...”
Just be sure you pay cash and do not use a credit card. A whole lot of Marylanders had to pay the state money after the state went on a fishing trip for cigs purchased online/out of state. One gal I know had to pay back several thousand dollars.
Visualize this. All smokers will move to the border of Oregon so that when they step outside for a smoke, they’ll be in another State.
In order for non smokers to enter Oregon, first they’ll have to pass through the smoke filled border. ha ha ha
Oh, yeah...he’s a commie...er DEM....and so is this whacko...check HER out....
