That’s interesting... here in Alabama we’re forced to compost.This is the same state that wants to make buying and selling human remains legal and profitable, but hey... it’s Texas. I just live here.
I might agree with this or not or something in between but seriously one of the nice things about this forum is not having to endure political discussion. It's nice to one space where people aren't ready to talk about such stuffs.COMMENT REMOVED
depends on how they do it. I mean if people want their remains sold don't see an issue. I personally don't care about my remains and if someone wants my skull or shin bone or anything like that when I am gone we can discuss prices.This is the same state that wants to make buying and selling human remains legal and profitable, but hey... it’s Texas.

There are work arounds and this is exactly how legislatures CREATE criminals by developing a need for a work around or a black market to meet a need that they "deemed to be " socially unresponsible". Of course most famously was the example of the California Assembly man who created massive gun control laws and then became a gun runner himself.I seriously wonder how I'm going to smoke all my tobacco before I get dusted to the wind, flavored or no. There are work arounds.
Probably suited for another thread, but I mostly agree. I’ve donated my body to science (pipe smoker lungs and all), but some cursory research on for-profit cadaver companies shows a huge number of issues. Or you can just Google ‘bucket full of penises’ and see an example of the issue.depends on how they do it. I mean if people want their remains sold don't see an issue.

You’d think these rocket surgeons could draft a law that just defines and controls liquid nicotine devices and leaves actual tobacco alone.You have to hope that Texas will exempt pipe tobacco from this law, if passed. I think their intent with this law is to stem the tide of vaping.
My thoughts as well: it’s the device and delivery that they take issue with, not so much the tobacco; the TX bill cites an article focusing on menthol cigarettes.You’d think these rocket surgeons could draft a law that just defines and controls liquid nicotine devices and leaves actual tobacco alone.

Trust me: it’s a fun search
I think vaping and maybe menthol cigarettes are the primary motivation of those pushing legislation like this. If it were just pipe tobacco you wouldn't hear anything. However when these laws are passed they are enforced on pipe tobacco too. Massachusetts is an example of this.You have to hope that Texas will exempt pipe tobacco from this law, if passed.

What it is, is that anti-tobaccoist are seeing people's concerns and anger at vaping, so they are using this concern and outrage to pass these laws that will sucker punch the tobacco industries, under the guise that they are really intending to get the vaping industry.I think vaping and maybe menthol cigarettes are the primary motivation of those pushing legislation like this.

Just to be fair, please investigate who dropped a couple billion dollars into the vape industry a couple of years back.What it is, is that anti-tobaccoist are seeing people's concerns and anger at vaping, so they are using this concern and outrage to pass these laws that will sucker punch the tobacco industries, under the guise that they are really intending to get the vaping industry.
That's too much like having to do work, plus they like slippery words so that no one holds anyone accountable.You’d think these rocket surgeons could draft a law that just defines and controls liquid nicotine devices and leaves actual tobacco alone.
