“Are they going to start banning flavored cigars and pipe tobacco too?”

I seem to recall some movement or some do-gooder seeking to ban cherry flavored cigars or some other such nonsense.

Probably afraid the Barry is going to defoliate the south in an attempt to eradicate the infamous menthol tobacco plant.

Guess who has never been in the military?

Hot flash:
Blacks smoked Kools.
Whites smoked Marlboros.
Dim swabbies smoked those ghastly Tarytons...(They tasted like burning LePages glue.)

This is simply the way it is. Drive thru the ghetto. In the two minutes before some yute shoots, all the bill boards will show black pimps enjoying Kools.

Think of the market. Who buys Kools?

L. Ron Hubbard?

“The same thing will happen that happened with the clove cigs they “banned” several years ago.”

When I first moved to Nevada in 1988, Cloves were illegal in Nevada or something for some reason. I remember all of the college kids doing weekly runs up to Truckee or Lake Tahoe to purchase cloves by the carton. It was the “cool kid” thing. Then a few years later, the ban on cloves was lifted, and suddenly nobody smoked cloves anymore.

—The same thing will happen that happened with the clove cigs they “banned” several years ago. The makers simply switched the wrapper from paper to tobacco leaf and called them cigars... —

If only America had a Goth President, the Kreteks would have never been banned. Isn’t it time, America, for a Goth President? 260 years without a Goth is enough, I say!
