FDA Proposes New Requirements for Tobacco Product Manufacturing Practices
The FDA is proposing new requirements for tobacco product manufacturers regarding the manufacture, design, packing and storage of their products.
Yep. Thank Obama for the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. And several court precedents giving FDA the power to regulate all tobacco and collect users fees through TRLM.Prices will go up over time no matter what gov't does. Every product does whether it's drive by unions, government, simple inflation, the price of shipping, and etc. Gov't regs are simply part and parcel of what drives inflation. Could certain gov't lack of action result in lower inflation? Certainly. But, society has spoken and it wants government interference in public lives. And, we, the electorate, encourage such intrusions. So, don't blame the politicians for doing what we elect them to do. They're just trying to hold on to their perqs and power. We smokers somethimes think way too highly of ourselves and take it personal.
I’ve heard this lots of times and I’m still trying to picture some walking up to a compound and stating “I’ve got two tins of Across the Pond and I want 20 gallons of gasoline for it. “Seems nothing more than the natural progression of all tyrannical governments. I've been preparing for the tobaccolypse for years now. Hopefully, I have enough tobacco to see me through to the end of my days and it will also make for a great barter item after the societal collapse.
But someone might trade one of the 500 pipes they bought in the beforetime for a bowl of tobacco.I’ve heard this lots of times and I’m still trying to picture some walking up to a compound and stating “I’ve got two tins of Across the Pond and I want 20 gallons of gasoline for it. “
It’s just damned asinine.
Thank your friends, relatives and neighbors who elected him. He and the congress just do what is needed to keep their base happy and get elected. We voters tend to vote our pocket book and are very narrow in our interests, one issue voters. Politicos go where the votes and moneys are. It's as simple as that. Tobacco use is socially unacceptable these days so politicians cater to the antis, more votes there. It's really too simple to pick out scapegoats and not get involved, just sit on the sidelines and vote only single issue.Thank Obama for the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act.

Cannabis cultivation and sale is still a federal crime so..I keep saying, they want you to smoke weed and not tobacco. I wonder why???
The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 is still in effect on the FEDERAL level. States can make their own laws but individuals are still subject to being indicted on the FEDERAL level.
You think you live in a land that has a tyrannical government?Seems nothing more than the natural progression of all tyrannical governments. I've been preparing for the tobaccolypse for years now. Hopefully, I have enough tobacco to see me through to the end of my days and it will also make for a great barter item after the societal collapse.
The fact remains that it’s Federally illegal.
Taxes of course. The old unforeseen result of legalization is why illegal weed is more popular than legal, taxed weed. Shouldn't have been a surprise but, it was to some. Tobacco tax income is the reason smoking will not be outlawed unless a replacement revenue source is found.I wonder why???
So is cocaine.The fact remains that it’s Federally illegal.
