That's because there's a whole laundry list of far more insane and absurd things that are true, so one tends to just assume it's real...even on April Fool's Day.

From the producer of such threads as: “I will set a crappy pipe on fire,” and “I will tie one to a roof,” this “taxes go up” thread seems very believable by comparison.
The last order I placed with SP, the adunana in Spain charged me more than the total value of the package. So it is already unbearable to buy tobacco from the USA. I continue to stock up with tobacco from the local tobacconist and some in Europe. I think this 2022 is going to be crucial. Spain is about to kick us in the ass, with taxes. Alcoholic beverages are also in the eye of the hurricane. Damn it, I'm starting to get stressed out already.
I offer this modest proposal:
Simply deny any and all medical services and insurance coverage relating to illnesses caused by primary smoking, in exchange for no governmental interference with smoking within designated areas, one's own home, indoor smoking sections, etc.
That would be a fair exchange.

Sure fooled me! But some time ago when I was crossing the border with pipe tobacco the CBSA guy (the Canadian equivalent of the Border Patrol) read me the riot act. Made me ready to believe almost anything about Canada and tobacco now. ?
Not funny Mike! You scared the S*#t out of me. Totally something Turdo would do.
Add salt to that. Unless you cook it yourself, everything is overloaded with salt. People's palates have been ruined by all of the salt.
The number one cause of chronic illness across the board by far is obesity. Where's the fat tax?
How about if you roll the pipe tobacco into cigars before crossing the border, and then slice the wrapper open when home?
Possibly, though I also suspect that the #1 cause of injury and death is stupidity, so denying insurance and medical care to stupid people would very likely cut costs by 80 to 90%.
Given the medical law about to be passed in South Carolina, this will soon be reality anyway, since access to medical care and insurance coverage will be decided by the doctor's or insurance adjusters' "personal beliefs".
Not far off what they actually charge anyway. Border doubles it then provincial tax make it’s a triple.
I’ve developed a disdain for government interference.

Bro...there's 2 things we don't joke about: penis size and tobacco tax.
My fault for not clicking the link, but I lost my sh*t when I read that. Lol.

You've given me a fantastic idea for next year
I serve the forum.
We're pretty much there, thinking about it. I get nailed between $25 to $40 for each $10-$12 50g tin when my order gets intercepted. That's between 150 to about 300%.
When that happens, in the best case scenario ($25 + 10USD), I am not really saving. And in the worse ($40 + 12USD), I actually pay more than what it would cost me to buy it here.
Granted, I get access to much more choices but it still sucks.
Not a realistic option, but it’s a thought.
