EXCELLENT!

The more smokers we take off the street, the more 2nd hand smoke we can prevent(which is scientifically proven to affect babies, children, and anyone else.)

Don't these people understand that smoking ciggarettes kill you.... SLOWLY? It boggles my mind how individuals continue to smoking while realizing that they are slowly developing lung cancer, throat cancer, mouth cancer, you name it. It's a wretched habit. But I guess that's what addiction is....

Hopefully something like this will save lives- as it is it's intent.

Well following your line of reason we also need to take ALL vehicles of the street.

We can't have people/children inhaling those fumes either.

I don't share your sentiments, but I think Free Shit Army is fucking hilarious. (I KNOW there are freeloaders, but they aren't as numerous as folks say and they're not as dangerous as the Own All the Shit Army.)

You have got to be kidding me!

It boggels my mind that you don't see through the propoganda shit to see the real problems.

They can spread bacteria throughout the Gulf area, they can have "accidental nuclear leaks" going into our atmosphere, they can chemically harm cancer patients, they can spread chemicals from on high, they can poison our food, but god forbid we light up a cigarette… Cuz it’s the cigarettes that cause all the cancers… Ya Right!

That just goes WAY too far. They can kiss my petuti if they think I'll meekly go along with this shit! Cuz I won't!! I'll become one of "the criminal element" if they push this on the population... enough is enough... and I've had my fill of pushing the smokers around so that TPTB can continue to poison the population while blaming the smokers.

If they push this, that amounts to a declaration of war for me. I’ll be baring my teeth and fighting back.

natural tobacco on its own isn't that bad for you.

what makes it bad is the phosphate based fertilizers they use to increase yields. these phosphate based fertilizers come with some bonuses - cadmium, lead, and uranium. guess what happens when you smoke something containing cadmium, lead, and uranium?

i'm not even getting into the chemicals they add to the tobacco or the paper.
 Quoting: The Gallows
Try Native cigs, no chemicals and about $3.50 a pack, $34 a carton.
As far as a smart card ceegar
First, the word ridiculous comes to mind.

Im trying to quit myself, Its not easy, Im not for this smart card, but probably would quit if it happens. The medical industry doesnt give a chit about us, Only money, so Im assuming this would be more $ for these parasites. I dont support parasites, So Id look at the bright side and quit.

This is probably tied into charging smokers more for health insurance. People won't be able to lie if they have to have a license to smoke so the insurance companies will get theirs.

It's all about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

people who smoke are stupid....and self destructive....but the thing is, they are not only self-destructive, they are harming everyone around them too. if it were natural selection, fine let the smokers kill themselves. but no, they make the air crappy and unsafe for everyone unfortunate to be around them.

From your link:

In a controversial move, the smartcard would allow the government to limit how many cigarettes a smoker could buy. Professor Chapman suggests 50 per day averaged over two weeks to accommodate heavy smokers.

Insane! Stuff like this makes me want to take up smoking, I swear...government saving people from themselves, what a heroic thing! superman
 Quoting: Laura Bow


WAIT A MINUTE???

I Thought they wanted to KILL most of us? maybe they want smokers to get a license so that they can have a list of who they are going to kill when they put a special "additive" into the tobacco to KILL????

hmmmmmm..... NO MORE FREE THOUGHT OR CHOICES IN AMERICA....

doesn't look good for us....

It is just the beginning of possible broader rationing in my opinion.

This week cigarettes, next week food, etc. Oh of course they will require the EBT card to buy anything. And Black market, yeah, big time most likely.

When it comes to tobacco, first of all I stand for freedom of choice,

But I can't stand the odor of commercial cigarette smoke, but I don't mind (or I enjoy) the smell of natural tobacco, like cigar or pipe. In fact wild tobacco grows as a weed in most empty lots and fields where I live. It even grows in cracks mortar out of the tops of buildings!

I think they put a lot of Agenda 21 chemicals in commercial cigarettes. I even suspect that that brew that they serve up in the cigarette, changes the frequency of a person, possibly to a state of awareness, controlled by the political state somehow. Although I admit that theory is far-fetched.

If this goes through, and my personal limit exceeds "theirs," I'll just learn how to grow my own tobacco. Tricky maybe, but I'll learn it and it will be a good skill to have anyway. But wait, will growing tobacco become the new equivalent to growing marijuana?

I'm with you...and don't know why there aren't more of us. Here both parties worked hard to demonize libertarians as if we were the spawn of the devil..probably because they can't stand any more defections from the BS two parties who serve the same interests

What I don't understand about legislation like this is this:

if smoking is so awful, why not just outlaw it once and for all, get it over with...not kill smokers by a thousand cuts

legalize pot, tax it, and make nicotene the outlawed drug. There problem solved

I don't smoke, and my eyes tear up if someone smokes too close to me, but I'm OK with letting them have their own areas, rooms, outdoor places to go smoke...and those of us who don't like it get everyplace else

I look at pictures of the orange air in many cities of China, I read about Fukushima toxins spreading worldwide, and I know I'm already consuming and breathing all sorts of deadly crap that no one is outlawing...

Ever notice how when they need more money, to maintain their salaries, they immediately fine a need to increase the amount of money they get from sin taxes??? They have been working on cell phone usage this way, I expect them to start picking on a way to declare to much cell phone usage as a way of harming ones self or point out its addictiveness for women...
 Quoting: Phoenix Rising




Here in the Portland Oregon area they are talking about adding an additional 32 cent fee onto all the phone bills (cell and landline) so they can teach the police how, when, and how much to use tasers on retarded people. Oh, sorry, people with "mental and emotional issues". Of course all of us phone users haven't seen anything about voting on this. As it stands now, over 1/3 (closer to 1/2) of our phone bill is taxes and fees. When I first got a phone, the entire bill was less than the taxes/fees I must now pay.

Black market cigarettes are a 50 billion dollar a year industry and the number 10 largest black market item in the world.

Looks like the government wants to increase the black market trade because that exactly what this would do.
 Quoting: Chrit


That's how it worked with alcohol Prohibition in the 20's and why we are paying $20/gram for a plant that anyone in the CONUS can grow for free in their own back yard.
