This is up there with outlawing popeyes, looks like the dems have left the plantation.

is intended to curb the rise of youth vaping rates by banning non-tobacco flavors such as mint and mango that public health experts say lure children into smoking.

It would also ban menthol cigarettes, which are disproportionately used by African Americans after years of targeted marketing by tobacco companies.

Where's the reason trump won account?

Almost as based.

based and cigpilled

She also took issue with the fact that the bill exempts premium cigars favored by white people but took aim at products used by black people.

Actually a very good point lmao

Hell yes put 🏀🇺🇲 in their place

Abe Lincoln, is that you?

I ship this

kids arent "lured into buying" premium cigars lol

I did buy one at 18. I'd always been allowed to have a bit of a cigar off my dad but since it was my 18th I bought a nice local one grown the year I was born.

classy shit for 18 lol im just saying its not really the same class as watermelon flavoured nicotine vapour

Around that age I stole a nice cigar from my father’s humidor to roll a fancy blunt for da boys. Rightfully got my ass beat for that one.

I think acids get shit on by most cigar smokers.

What premium cigars is this knobhead talking about? Acid? No premium cigars are flavored (and anything that brands itself as so is there to sell to rubes in which case who cares). People spend hundreds of dollars because of the natural flavors of the tobacco where its grown.

I once bought a few vanilla flavoured cigars while I was at university.

Are you saying those weren't actually premium?

What do you mean? My local Walmart sells premium cherry cigars for $5 a box!!

I smoked a series of cigars from a now defunct cigar company that cost upwards of 60 dollars apiece that were dipped in mild fruit flavors. They do exist, but aren’t typically favored by old white dudes, i.e. the people that buy expensive cigars

I referenced people like you in my comment when I said rubes.

I assumed they meant those "premium" dutch master cigarillos

kids don’t buy flavored cigars to smoke the tobacco lol

Have they ever had a menthol? It’s not a mint flavored cigarette.

How to piss off your African American voting base by taking away the things they like for their own good in one easy step

Banning my preferred brand of cigarettes is probably the one thing I would take more seriously than trying to ban guns.

Nigga don’t touch my Newport’s

Who and when can I vote for someone who’s part of the opposite political side?

Everyone hates smokers so you're fucked.

Lmao everyone take a look at this uncool piece of shit 😂 “oh I wanna live to be 100 in waning health with no one by my deathbed side” fuck outta here with that geriatric bullshit.

cope harder cigcel, hope you enjoy the lung cancer when you’re 50

Lmao imagine living past your 50s holy shit 😂 do you want your salsberry steak mashed or puréed?

salsberry

englishlet detected

Honestly I really wouldn't consider myself a racist, but English people really bring it the fuck out of me.

these drama posters act like anyone wants them around in the first place. 👌 smoke up virgins, you might actually get laid before the cancer gets you 🚬

its bad manners to live past 50 #cmv

I agree with you in principle, but menthols are like smoking a Glade Plugin and are fucking nasty.

can confirm have smoked both

You smell terrible.

You’re one to talk, fatty.

Smoker cope. Go have yellow teeth somewhere else

Go have diabetes somewhere else.

At least we can unite in our inability to walk up stairs without wheezing.

Lol a fatty can’t walk on flat ground without wheezing.

Smokers can't exist without wheezing

It's cause he can't pull off the smoker look

You speak the truth. Only pussies care about their personal well-being.

I hate smokers because they're just legal crack fiends. DUHHH I NEED MUH CIGS AHHHH GIMMIE TEN PACKS-A PAL MAL EVEN THOUGH I'M ON FOOD STAMPS HNNNNNNGGGG NEED NICOTINE NOW!!!!!

Everyone is gonna see me die.

Are smokers more hated than gamers?

a lot of republicans still wont come out and say cigarettes cause cancer including Mike Pence lol

it's either look like a fag vaping or die in my 50's from lung cancer and i know which one i want

You look like a fag without those thick clouds fag.

Imagine not being able to have thick clouds with a cigarette

go for a run fatty

None of this makes any sense. Retard.

Dumb. Just put a massive fuck off tax on them, nation wide. In fact why stop there? Vice tax. Taxes on all vices: alchohol, fast food, dogs, drugs, women. Insahlah, America can be saved.

Don’t tax women, they’re expensive enough as it is.

I'd unironically support a heavy vice tax. My vices are digital and I just pirate shit all the time anyway so it wouldn't even hit me.

i want to make it as hard as possible for other people to have fun

based

Autistic

More just bitter and spiteful of people who are dumb enough to enjoy life.

I think dems just alienated like a quarter of their voter base lmao.

Also menthols are whack. It’s like you want to smoke a cigarette without any actual features of a cigarette.

or you dont want people to scab them

That’s what unfiltered is for you pussy.

yeah dont worry i smoked camels and red marlboros and fucking white ox in high school lmao

imagine enabling fiends

it used to be a safe bet having menthols around my old school back in the day because there were no black people and nobody wanted to mix their cones all minty

Counterpoint, A good menthol, like American spirit light greens, are great for light smokers who don't wsnt to feel territible after smokers but still like the smell pf tobacco.

It's like smoking newspaper soaked in listerine

This should come as no surprise. These are the same people who literally argue in favor of the mayocide. Did you forget about that? I didn't. /r/Drama posters are literally pro-mayocide. That's not even me being hyperbolic or making insults, it's simply a fact.

They.

Are.

Not.

Human.

They are autists. And they are completely irredeemable.

I mean there's a reason they call menthols the nig cig

niggarettes lmao

So the niggerfaggot ?

*breathmint

We need to stop black people from giving themselves cancer. They are a bug enough burden on the system as is.

Of all the fucking things you could ban as a Democrat, you really have to go after the staple of your largest and most loyal voting bloc?

Good lord, it really is a party of retards.

What's funny is that they'll never know until it's passed the senate because if the MSM reports this they are FUCKED. All trump has to do is promise to have it unbanned with red votes.

This just in: Dems draft bill banning fried chicken, watermelon, tortillas, and Takis.

Already happened up here in Leafland a while ago, pissed me right off because they're the only fags I can smoke when I'm sick. If some hamplanet can doublestuff Big Macs into his gaping maw at McDick's then I should be able to slowly poison my lungs with fresh, minty goodness.

canada banned it? Is that how you got them to leave?

Didn't work but almost all of them end up in Toronto anyway so no skin off my back. -40°C in my neck of the woods when we're balls deep in winter does wonders to keep the crime rate down.

I heard you fags can’t have branding on your cig packs either. The 1/5 of the package that isn’t a health warning is all black.

Imagine being a cashier in Canada when some smokefag comes in and asks for some very specific cig and you've just got a bunch of black and white boxes lined up.

This is the part I don’t get. They already had to keep them in a cabinet where no one could see them, who cares what the packaging looks like at that point?

Apply yourself. Holding a packet of malboros looks cool. Holding a black packet with a picture of a man's knob burnt off and a warning against erectile dysfunction does not look cool.

It werked for me

Imagine not owning a gold plated cigarette case

Yep, it's all plain, nondescript packaging with pictures of rotting teeth and diseased lungs. They keep jacking the price every year, too. In a parallel universe Elizabeth Warren is Canadian and lied about being a squaw so she could get those cheap, cheap reserve smokes.

the fucking state of things that the only real defense people can muster to some stupid shit like this bill is some bodies and spaces shit about black people

Yeah, tyranny is fine as long as it doesn't have an unintended racial implication.

What the fuck happened to personal liberty?

the most appalling thing is that opposing this shit SHOULD be fucking catnip for voters

Smoking cigarettes is cool and if you disagree you should have been bullied more.

It's Kool™ 2 smoke!!

You may be able to take my methols but you'll never be able to take my meth 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

A ban on flavored e-cigarettes and tobacco products passed the House Friday

but divided Democrats, with some saying it unfairly targets African Americans.

Motherfuckers better not, and if they come after my cheap as fuck alternative which is menthol cigarillos that I can buy for $1.75 per pack I will jump the god damn ship entirely.

Goddamn fucking tyrants on every side of the spectrum have been taking aim at smokers, which you know... Okay I get it -- it's a terrible thing to do to yourself and it's unpleasant for people who don't smoke but this seems like a pretty small fucking sin all things considered

These fucking cock suckers never tried to look at who actually smokes, it's the poor --- giant giant giant giant giant discrepancy, I mean it's beyond the word overwhelming --- and then they always do it in the name of the poor like funding CHIP with Obama's cigarette tax hike

This shit is regressive as fuck, you're not going to curb addiction this way, good lord.

I can go out and buy a plastic bottle like a whole liter of Skol vodka and get shit-your-pants wasted for $5 because everyone drinks. If you're going to allow 1 sin you've got to allow all of them.

That's a lot of COPE and SEETHE

Yeah well it's justified trust me

I will make you a deal, you can keep your degenerate behavior, anime and programmer socks if I can keep my self prescribed medicine.

I am aware that it kills me, and I find that value proposition to be acceptable. I have read the surgeon general's warning, and I have already started to experience the consequences of my choices, but I am steadfast in my resolve that it does benefit my mental state.

Same but for chewing tobacco. The irony is that chewing tobacco is flavored and that personally I didn't submit to advertising as a youth, I started after becoming a legal adult at 22.

hahahaha get fucked smoker you stink

Vaping is about two orders of magnitude cheaper, the only obstacle is that you need $50-100 upfront.

vaping probably won’t be helpful for self medication

tobacco has MAOI’s that vaping doesnt

Interesting, it appears that most of the research is focused on the role of nicotine. One could try to get MAOI prescribed separately, and anyways, self-experimentation is fascinating!

That's horseshit.

I am buying packs of smokes for $1.75 - opportunists have placed vaping above that quite a bit

You're not supposed to buy juuls or whatever capitalists market to kids these days, I checked out ebay just now and you can find 20mg/ml 10ml boosters for $2.75, and that's idk 20 packs equivalent maybe?

Alright I might have been quick to judge, I did try this stuff a few years back, got myself like a... One of those big fancy ones

It reached the point quickly where a week's worth was like $30 though, so I just went back to killing myself quickly for $10.50 a week

I will look online, those physical vape shops are run by opportunistic weirdos.

On that note, vaping is very good for managing tolerance if you know what you're doing: a cigarette you have to finish even though after the first couple of puffs the cravings go away, with a vape you can teach yourself to just put it away then. OTOH if you don't consciously do that I guess you can fall into a chain smoking routine equivalent instead.

you didn't need to tell us you're schizophrenic, we could tell by the length of your post

Democrats are dumb as fuck. Who would have thought?

"This legislation has dire, unintended consequences for American Americans," said Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.), a member of the CBC. "Law enforcement would have an additional reason to stop and frisk menthol tobacco users because menthol would be considered illegal under this ban."

Where the fuck would American Americans get menthol cigarettes after the ban, and HOW THE FUCK would police be able to tell a menthol cigarette from a regular one without smoking it?

No thought goes into anything that comes out of the media anymore. They just find a way to make it about race and move on to the next.

If you're within 20 feet of someone smoking a menthol, you can tell.

I didn't think I could hate the Democrats any more at this point but just wow.

Lol....ban tobacco but legalize weed....

dems really acting like ppl buy swishers and dutches to smoke the tobacco
