I'm not a smoker... but my interest in this is simply that it does not make sense. Why are these items being banned?

I don't know if the ban is in effect or not but the thing is I have this little cigar shop I order my poison from and for the past two weeks they don't sell cloves cigarettes no more. Don't know why. Maybe they're out of stock or something or maybe people heard about this news and bought everything. I'm only certain of one thing: I like those cigarettes!

I like how this article starts off with

Im sure as hell not gay and neither is my brother nor my sister in law, nor her sister or husband or my former room mate. Everyone of us have smoked cloves at some time or another and my sister in law smokes them exclusively. I guess not any more. Change................gawd.

heard about this about a month ago on a trip to my tobacco store...
they had a sign on the front door advising people to stock up... something about how cloves AND flavored cigarettes are aimed at youth.
I imagine this is part of the supreme ct giving the fda authority to control...i mean "regulate" the tobacco industry...
I never liked cloves or flavored tobacco for that matter , but I have quite a few friends who prefer cloves.

Clove cigarettes...

are pretty much an industry of the gay male population, the last I checked.

BTW.. I am not homophobic, have friends of all persuations, etc, etc, there is that politically correct disclaimer.

I've some gay friends that are PISSED about the news... so I doubt this has anything to do with underage smokers.

Go Phillip-Morris!

You've gotta love a death-dealing lobbyist that just blatantly bends over thier competition while at the same time keeping menthol cigarettes in the market.

Know thine enemies.. Phillip-Morris is one of them.
