Indiana Proposes Generational Tobacco Ban

[ClinchKnot]

It's only your business if you resolve and promise to refuse all governmental (neighbor's taxes) insurance for smoking related illness, various cancers and heart diseases. But, I bet you won't. Neither would I. It's stupid to refuse "free" moneys from your neighbors.

“Free”?…

I seem to recall working my ass off decade after decade for the paychecks which provided me money to pay for everyone else’s social security and healthcare.

The least my neighbors can do is give an older guy a little grace, but the Karen pathology has spread far and wide now that people are less likely to suffer instant consequences for disrespect.

True. He's like a child. We set aside cash monthly to pay his expenses (which are surprisingly low for a half-ton herbivorous farm animal), which I do not dip into, no matter how pressing or substantial the TAD urge may be.

Just glad children can't kick that hard. What if he gets the tad?

but on the other hand.... perhaps its time to convert the kids college tuition fund into something useful, adn that will have actual value in the future.

Like say a few steel drums of properly mylared tobacco hidden under the petunias out back?

It’s en vogue to trash tobacco because the lobbying money just isn’t there anymore. The industry has shrunk that much, it’s an easy target.

Meanwhile it’s non-stop sports- betting and online gambling ads here in Michigan. Cannabis, lottery, sports betting, online gambling, and alcohol industries are booming, replacing the tax revenue from tobacco. All of which I would argue can be just as destructive.

and aparently a new EXTRA 24% tax on pot/thc is going to be happneing here in michi michi gan. heh heh.

ROPP the new freedom pipe?

Indiana: Like the UK, it is seeking to create another "udopeia"! Ref. the thread "Proposed UK Tobacco Ban."
