Re: Smokers are FUBAR
Hey mike, I'll have you know that the connecticut river valley is home to some of the finest shade tobacco grown anywhere. I pass lots of that shit on the way to work. So, yes, we new englanders do have something to do with tobacco. Not as much as algore, though.

Re: Smokers are FUBAR
Mike, that's exactly what I was foreshadowing with that post. A total ban on tobacco is only a matter of time. As soon as the tax revenue becomes inconsequential to the equation, you can bet the DEA will be classifying nicotine as a Schedule 1 drug.Mike the Lab Rat wrote:Bri's statement trying to equate the government forbidding pot use/drug use in your home with the aformentioned smoking bans in homes ridiculous, since the government is, in the latter cases, banning activities that are illegal ANYWHERE.
I wasn't really directing that at you. I know your libertarian views well enough to know that you're not down with much government intervention at all.There is no more "government intrusion" in banning pot smoking in the home than there is with banning counterfeiting, heroin use and sale, kidnapping, etc. I disagree with the government's policy on outlawing pot, but to claim that it's somehow being inconsistant in not allowing it within your own home is ludicrous.
That being said, if one accepts that the government has the moral authority to completely ban the use of some drugs, how can you possibly have any standing to argue that the same government does not have the authority to limit (even within the confines of your own home) the use of another? To me it simply doesn't follow.

The government has no "moral authority" to do a lot of things, including legal consistencies and common sense, obviously.

Re: Smokers are FUBAR
Smoke Nazi checking in. The wife and I can't stand to be in the smoke, and unless you're a non-smoker, you're clueless as to how your habit affects those that don't. We can't even go the casinos beacuse it's a fucking gas chamber. Exagerated - Not so much. Last time we suffered through it to be with some friends who wanted to go, we both had sore throats and cough the day afterwards. Just not worth it to us to be in that shit.War Wagon wrote:
They're trying to ban smoking from every public place in KC and every surrounding suburb. The smoking nazi's won't be satisfied until nobody can light up in any bar, restaurant, bowling alley, or casino anywhere.
Now here's the conundrum, another good friend's wife manages a Tanner's. They were out in Lee Summit when the smoking ban went in. The business dropped off to the point, they shut it down and moved to Blue Springs. Whoever said let the Tavern owner decide is spot on. If the business is all smokers, then who are we to close them down.
It's ponderous - when studies show the vast population don't smoke, that the nicotine fiends have the clout in the live music establishments.
Last time we visited the Tanners in Blue springs, to see our freinds, it was an all <30 crowd. Fucking stupid, but is what it is.
Short Sighted Wagon. It's when you're done working and on Medicare that you'll be using more than you'r allotment of resources.Meanwhile, they tax the shit out cigs and use that cash to fund any manner of pet projects while saying that it's going for smokers health care. Yeah, right. I pay for my own damn health care costs.

Re: Smokers are FUBAR
Simple supply side economics dictates that as tobacco taxes and tobacco regulation increase, the tobacco related economy will continue to decrease. Taken to it's logical conclusion, one has to presume that there will come a time when businesses will no longer find tobacco to be a profitable business.smackaholic wrote:so long as there are tax dollars to be had, the fed whores are not going to turn away one of their best johns.BSmack wrote:Oh yea? Just wait until the number of smokers falls to under 10% of the population.
also, those jackbooted thugs at BATF need something to do.
Already, here in Rochester, the Wegmans supermarket chain has stopped selling all tobacco products. They claim they're just being a "good corporate citizen", but we all know it is because tobacco has become more of a pain than it is worth for them to sell. And that's with 20% of the population still smoking. Just imagine what businesses will do when there's only 5 or 10 percent of the population to sell to.
It's only a matter of time before they're outlawed.

Re: Smokers are FUBAR
Grocery stores will pull the good corporate citizen PC bullshit. Also, folks don't go to the grocery store to buy smokes. Convenient stores on the other hand will continue to sell them. They get a decent profit, plus, they get smokers in the store so they can sell them a 14 dollar jar of mayo.

Re: Smokers are FUBAR
I didn't read all of this but after a few posts I feel I got the gist. I'm not a smoker. The biggest problem I have w smokers is their contention that "Hey, I gotta die of something. This is my choice". Well guess what. It's your family members that have to sacrifice the heartache, time, and financial burden to care for you weezing, sufferring, cancer addled, stupid ass after a lifetime of self indulgance. Caring for a lifelong smoker w a diseased heart and lungs is a fucking full time job. And it's not always quick. Some of you motherfuckers can linger for years. If it's your right to smoke, it should be our right to shoot you like you were a fucking horse w a broken leg.
