This is why they want your cigs?

Sin taxes pay for stadiums. Also, only the sins of the poor count. It's supposed to make people quit, but they have the revenue from it projected forward several years. Hmmm.....

There's one thing I don't get about forbidding cigarettes..

Every state profits from the high taxes on it.they would lose much money if they completely forbade it. So on the one hand they're criminalizing users, on the other they rely on the taxes.

How is that different from speeding? Or parking tickets? Or any number of laws? You have laws. If you don’t follow them, you pay a fine.

They aren't making cigarettes illegal, they are increasing taxes just below where there's sufficient incentive to fuel a black market. They have no intention of losing revenue; the health aspect is just a front. These aren't Pigovian taxes. Like I said, they pay for stadiums for rich people to go to.

The profit from the tax conflicts with its stated purpose when passing it.

As far as Covid goes...

Its been well established that tobacco(nicotine), binds to the same receptors as Covid...

So you want to eliminate, and suppress nicotine usage as much as possible, so that the maximum amount of people get sick...

We should all be growing our own. Tobacco, weed, food, EVERYTHING. Guerilla style growing if you must. The only cost for these things should be the time and care required to grow and prepare, not paying some crooked ass government for gifts from God or nature.

If you follow Dr. Ardis you'd know that the snake venom attaches to a receptor that nicotine attaches to. If you smoke or chew nicotine gum you'll block the snake venom from attaching to that receptor that affects your breathing.

The menthol aspect could possibly further benefit the "victim" so they are pulling that now.

I use nicotine gum. It works.

Robert Malone said that nicotine had a medicinal use for covid.

You are waking up to the corruption running the planet. Congratulations, the balance of the planet to follow soon.

There's a huge profit to be made driving cigs from Indiana into Chicago.

I see the Illinois plates at Indiana smoke shops filling up to feed the convenience stores..many many cartons, NOT for personal consumption.

funny how they banned ecig flavors that were from ALTRIA which is PHILIP MORRIS that lobbys these fuckers with TRUTH.com ads n shit anti smoking stuff.

kabuki theater
BLM!!!!! hows that gonna go when you ban newports on them?

FIRES of "mostly peacful " protesting

I concur. As a dipper i'm sure i'm slowly doing irreversible dmg to my mouth and throat but there's been several social situations last couple yrs i felt like i was getting overtaken by some sickness in early stage, packed a fat lip, and was g2g, after what seemed like a solid immune response for a couple hours.

A law just kicked in were you can't get anything related to vaping sent to you from a online store. They want to shut that down too under the guise of protecting the kids that they are trying to vaxx to death.

I have been smoking since I was 9 years old and I have zero desire to quit. Smoking is expensive but I have ways around that.
My grandmother smoked her whole life and quit at the age of 78, she was extremely healthy , active and just on the ball until about 2 years after quitting she developed dementia and althemizers, now she is in a home and knows who no one is. Coincidence I think not.
I have not had covid and it has been at my work and in my home.
I will never be a quitter!

STFU
Dumb ass
If you follow the quack talking about snake venom...
Fucking moron.
Will you ever admit you fell for the bullshit?

In the old days at tuberculosis hospitals, they gave patients tobacco to smoke to dry out the lungs. But it was pure tobacco not the processed crap they put in cigarettes these days.

In Illinois, tobacco was grown by prisoners at Chester Menard Island Prison, it was used in state hospitals and sold in prison commissaries.

Also funny the left tells you we need sin taxes to discourage bad behaviors but then when you point out taxes on income discourage production it's crickets.

I wanted to try nicotine gum a few times a day, its too expensive. Now I dip and my lip is very sore. Im not cut out for this crap!

There are two innate receptors that every human is born with:
Endocannabinoid and Nicotinic. In order to tap into and USE the Endocannabinoid receptors, one must ingest cannabinoids which come from cannabis. In order to tap into and USE the Nicotinic receptors, one must ingest nicotine.

In terms of nootropics, as in a substance that improves brain functioning, nicotine reigns supreme across the board. It is #1 for improved thinking, recall of memories and retrieval of information. Nicotine to the brain is like clove to the body in terms of its ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) power.

The wholesale processed cigarettes sold are junk. They are chemical filth filled with literally thousands of foreign chemicals including the yummy glue like poison with the FSC (Fire Safety Compliance) added to all of the cigarettes which makes the cigarette burn out unless you keep sucking it. A better, safer and cheaper option is to get organic wholeleaf tobacco. No tax, no processing, no chemicals.

What? This isn't a fine, this is a use tax. You are not breaking a law, you are paying a tax. Wait until you have to pay a use tax to eat meat, drink a soda, eat candy or chips etc.

and doctors recommend Lucky Strike right?
