I can't say I would like my kids to use tobacco at all, but in the USA we were founded on individualism and being able to make our own decisions. So I hope they have the choice.
They are slowly taking our freedoms away using scare tactics to make us ask them to. The patriot act was the first of many bills passed to strip us of our constitutional rights. I don't see why they wouldn't railroad us into trying to ban tobacco other then the revenue it generates in tax money. I love my country, but I do not like where its heading. Sorry to bring up politics, but politics definitely tie into this thread. I have a meager cellar started in preparation for an astronomical tax increase in luxury tobacco. Sad thing is that the RYO tobacco accounts for the huge increase in pipe tobacco sales that is going to spawn the tax hike.
I don't think the world will be here in 2050. At least the world as we know it today. I will certainly be dead, I try not to think about the things I see in our near future. It scares me to death. My poor kids are the ones who are going to be hit the hardest by out Grim(in my eyes) future. One thing we must never lose is hope. Once you lose hope, you are no longer living. Wow. sorry for the lengthy post. I hope I've not offended anyone.
