New FDA Nicotine Restrictions

[bullet08]

Damn. I want to say so many things, but my ban was just lifted yesterday. IBTL.

 

[Pooh-Bah]

I'm ready for the pearlclutchers to start warning middle schoolers about how $15 cigars are a gateway drug to harder, illegal forms of Nicotine (like Cult Blood Red Moon, which is obviously Satanic), and make hilarious new films like "NICOTINE FRENZY!!" about some dumbass kid eating an entire pack of cigarettes to feel the warm embrace of Lady N, only to then like.... Crash his car or microwave Dr Pepper, or something equally disastrous.

57 lbs. of tobacco is one bowl per day for 25 years. 23 lbs. will get you 10 years down the line. I have just enough to keep me going for 10-15 years as I am not a daily smoker and take breaks for months at a time on occasion, but when everyone asks me why I don’t just keep a few tins around and buy more when I need it, this is why. What I think we are most at risk of is some sort of ban on mail order or online buying. I’m not a hoarder, but I think it wise to stack some tins away at this time. It anything just to lock in lower prices. For my friends in Canada, I will gladly bring in 7 oz. the next time I enjoy the magnificence of the Maritime provinces, original home of the Louisiana Acadians (Cajuns) and I will likewise have no problem delivering some of the sacred weed to anyone in Wisconsin who wants to go fish the Driftless and avoid the new 71% excise tax. I imagine I will be on some sort of watch list now, but the Mounties at Calais were very nice last time around.

Bans on online sales have already occurred in a few states and all of them also have have high tobacco taxes as far as I know, I'm sure it's a matter of time before we see more and more. My state of Washington doesn't allow online sales and we have a 95% sales tax, and very few B&Ms with good selection to boot. Very much a canary in the coal mine situation

Depends on the pipes used. Many of mine can finish off a 50g tin in two smokes.

Hope the FDA is eliminated some day
