Cloves rip my lungs apart. This is lame for many reasons though. I wonder why they wasted there time regulating what people smoke more? It's already bullshit enough they raised the price on cigarette tax.

It's only a matter of time before they take away flavored foods too, can't let kids get hooked on the deliciousness lest they eat too much...

It just means that companies are repackaging and reselling them as flavored cigars instead of flavored ciggies....These products will still be available, albeit by a different name...

The fact that it's illegal for minors to smoke is clearly not enough. As a country, we needed to do something we KNEW would prevent kids from smoking, so naturally, we took a lesson from the drug war, and made these products illegal outright. It worked with marijuana, so we KNOW it will work with smoking.
Good job, Washington! Thank God we have a government that can be counted on to always make the smart decision. ![]() The Rev |

If only the Left (or what passes for the Left here) would give up on some of these 'lifestyle' nanny-state issues, we might actually be able to pass some meaningful legislation that legitimately helps average people instead of regressively raising taxes on their habits.

gotta agree with most of the sentiments here, what a load of shit. I rarely ever smoke tobacco but I really enjoyed the flavored hookah tobaccos that they sell at my local head shop..didn't think rose flavored tobacco would be very good but it was actually bomb diggity.

Probably indefinitely then haha. If the cops really have nothing better to do they need to seriously rethink their priorities...

man wtf.....Ill be super mad if I can't get any shisha for my hookah. Luckily i buy it from and indian grocer, so they probably won't give a fuck.
And what of hookah bars....? I never smoke bidis, and i just roll with unflavored swishers, but wtf? The whole line of thinking behind this is ludicrous, making it blatantly obvious that this is just a move by big tobacco companies to ease out any perceived competition. Aren't pretty much all flavored cigarettes and cloves imported?
