Maryland Proposes Flavored Tobacco Ban

[python]

Anyone living in the "Free State" of Maryland probably knew that the state would try and follow suit of other states:

Legislation - SB0177

mgaleg.maryland.gov

 

[python]

They also have it listed as an "Emergency Bill"

Sigh. Not unexpected I guess.

Sure happy that I moved from there in 1985.

Just realized Bunk Moreland's name was a pun.

Just think, if they really wanted to be anal, the could consider Perique and latakia flavored tobacco. ?

Guess they're mad that Old Bay flavored Captain Black never took off ...seriously, they have way bigger problems than flavored tobacco. Ridiculous.

Com'on! They are just trying take the heat off the real issue! Rats don't taste like chicken!

Wonder if that will apply to OTC brands like SWR, CH, PA.....

Very likely, and much of current pipe tobacco has sweet casings. ?

I'm surprised it hasn't already happened here in MN. I've been wondering why I've had the unusual urge to buy a pound of various GH cherry blends.

Unfortunately it's only going to get worse.

Holy Batshit, man! Part of the MD wording:

"...providing that a public statement that cigarettes, other tobacco products, or electronic smoking devices have or produce a certain smell or taste is presumptive evidence that they are flavored tobacco products if the statement is made by certain persons; etc."

There has to be $$$ in it for the state or the legislator. Wonder who is paying for the bill?

Will never be a willing resident of merryland.

Maryland is a giant, piece of shit nanny state whose corrupt asshole politicians pander to brainless automatons. Did you know there was a rain tax in this state? As in, you're financially responsible for the amount of rain that falls on your property??

I'll stop smoking "flavored" tobacco products once they ban flavored Coke products.
