This is really easy and I hope everyone will join and click the link to take action. It's really easy. The website is set up to email your elected "cronies"... uh I mean officials regarding these crazy taxes on smokeless and flavored tobaccos. I'm no expert here but I imagine that would affect flavored cigars and pipe tobacco. I read that in some states flavored tobacco is now banned!??? Good Lord! Soon they'll want to tax our sex lube! I've had it.
Citizens take action now!

That is awful. We have it real bad in Australia, we can only get a few "drug store" blends and they cost $35-$40 for 50grams and are covered in health warnings. And the tobacconists we have over here only cater to cigarette and drug users, such a shame the art of pipe smoking has been lost.

HR 1469 - The Sexual Lubricant Taxation Act. It slid through the House with little resistance but appears to have dried up in the Senate. :rofl:

SINCE WHEN!! This is terrible. This is horrible. It's despicable. It's a tragedy. How could they possibly ban sex lube???
haha annapolispipes, you kinda set yourself up for the jokes.

Not ban, they want to tax it. We could all meet in Boston, smoke, and throw crates of sex lube into the harbor. I'd started to add throwing tobacco too, but didn't want to be hasty about that.

Joined. Just what we need. I am surprised though that Kevin let this post in. I have made several similar posts encourage each of us to watch the Action Alerts Kevin has on the left side of the pages at this site. Those posts never made it and I decided they were too political. Being in the government world I know how sometimes only a few emails can make a difference.

This is like déjà vu all over again ...
Here is why I don't support it (Middleton's Citizens for Tobacco Rights), and why I passed on the story when I saw it last week before all the Johnny-Come-Latelys jumped on it.
From an old post, from over a year ago ...
You have got to be freakin' kidding me with this ridiculous crap, and it is ten times worse coming from a tobacco company. Did someone go insane over there!?!?!

These guys are the biggest corporate pussies I have ever witnessed.
They need to grow a pair.
