They didn't learn anything from the original prohibition.... smuggling cigarettes will become a big business... and very profitable....but I don't think it will happen, just more propaganda to distract from the number one thing on people's minds... inflation and energy prices....they know whose fault it is and the elections are coming.. the democrats better brace themselves...

but I dont even like it being talked about     Its a bad road we are going down.

Could you tell the difference in flavor...?
I'm not talking about trying to suck through a tighter filter but actually smoking a genetically altered tobacco leaf.

That's true, it isn't a good road... people can't make their own decisions about their health... the government will do it for them...1984 is becoming real...

  I fell 2 months ago and tore my rotator cuff and tore 2 tendons. I got surgery scheduled and it was supposed to be last Thursday.
 Tuesday,2 days before the surgery,the surgeons office called and told me the surgery was canceled. 
 My health insurance provider won't pay for the surgery. Because I'm a smoker. Now in order to get surgery I have to quit smoking for 30 days and prove it by taking a blood test. Then they can schedule the surgery again.

  I'm going to have to quit. If it were a saliva or urine test I would just cheat their test,but it's a blood test they are going to use to confirm I quit. And I have to document that I started quitting by getting a prescription to quit so Blue Cross knows by getting the bill. Just can't say I quit.
I can't hardly move my right arm. One of the torn tendons helps hold the bicep in place.
I've been off work the whole time too.
Luckily we have money socked away so I can still pay the $800.00 a month insurance premium. Not enough to pay outright.
 I already checked. The surgery is almost $40,000.00. Don't have that much put away.

You Republicans live in such a horrible world I really feel sorry for you, I love my life and I love my country.

Just in case your short sightedness makes you look like a complete ******* ***....Not all of us are Republican....but it appears all of you are idiocrat


What is an Idiocrat you ask?
IdiocratSomeone who seems like a character from the movie Idiocracy. Someone who's mean & stupid.
Whats the difference between idiot & idiocrat?
Idiots are/can be mature, nice, generous, respect smart people, & be intelligent in other areas.
Idiocrats are immature, mean, selfish, & have no respect for smart or logical people.

An idiocrat is someone with the brain of a 12 year old gangster with a forrest gump iq, thinks all smart people are ***, easily develops a pack mentality around other idiots, never uses logic, is an asshole, only laughs at the crudest humor, etc.
I can tolerate stupid people that are nice & mean people that are smart, but I have no patience with idiocrats.

Jr highs, ghettos, and trailer parks are infested with idiocrats.
