Cigarettes deamed illegal per the FDA, well, almost.
We’ve seen Obama promise a lot of change with his administration. However the only change that’s been put into effect is this new cigarette ban. The law bans flavored tobacco in cigarettes. So while it’s still fine if you smoke cigarettes, it’s just illegal to smoke them if they are cherry flavored. Clove cigarettes will be banned too, although not menthol. I suppose if they banned menthol, which is actually what kids smoke, then they might be considered racist. Funny thing to note. Philip Morris was the co-sponsor of this new bill. What a good way to get rid of the smaller competition on the market.
Seriously? Yes! The new FDA regulations say no tobacco can be flavored that’s used for cigarettes. What’s next? No flavored alcohol?
I understand they want to limit children’s ability to access harmful things, and I agree completely with the current restrictions on tobacco and alcohol from children. Well, I think alcohol should be 18 since you’re legally an adult, however I digress.
Somewhere along the line we’ve become sheeple. That’s sheep + people = sheeple to the people, or ahem, to the sheeple who don’t know. So, somewhere along the line we’ve become these sheep that the government can use as toys. We’re the demos, not citizens. If we were citizens we’d have a say so in our own lives. However the government is making it nearly impossible for us to even make bad or questionable choices.
I’m an avid firearms supporter and the reason is clear to me. If we give up our rights, even one of them, we’re paving the road in gold for our lives to be legislated out of existence. I know, everything isn’t a firearms issue. I’ll agree here. However, when we’re talking rights, it’s always about firearms.
So, in California we have the right to not be part of our child’s educations. We do not have the right to carry a firearm for self defense. And, we also don’t have the right to smoke cherry flavored cigarettes.
I, for one, welcome our new cigarette blanding overlords.
Just remember that chant as you allow more and more rights to be taken away from you.
