So now bloominidiot is trying to push a law that says that stores must hide cigarettes. LOL. This guy is amazing on the idiot meter. How is hiding cigarettes going to stop people from smoking?

This makes rolling cigatettes fun! This is for my viewers who choose to smoke! - YouTube

Here is a link that shows how easy it is to buy loose tobacco and tubes and make your own. Avoid the taxes NY and buy it in bulk from one of the Indian Res. and make your own. Tell Bloominidiot to stick it.

Cigarettes kill people. Contribute to the death of innocent people. Cost the nation billions of dollars a year in unnecessary health care costs. Smoking = mental illness.

So do lots of other things. LOTS.

Just and FYI, I have family that smoked since they were teens. Still smoking, at nearly 90. Health is still fine.

Maybe they kill people with bad genes.

Obesity is killing more now. Its costing more in unnecessary health costs too. Educate, not ban, hide, sensor, etc. Educate.

Smoking = legal. Telling people they can't display their legal merchandise for sale = illegitimate abuse of government power.

LIFE kills people.

But seriously, most manufactured cigarettes are absolutely terrible for you. The lengthy list of additives is sickening and it proves that so long as a Corporation has a huge profit margin the safety of the general public is of no concern. Alcohol and Pharmaceuticals prove this as well.

I admit I love to smoke but I stick to God's all natural gift to us; Marijuana.

Or if I must I buy loose tobacco and roll my own or buy American Spirits which have no additives.

I've been trying to get in the habit of rolling my own as well.

Oh Lord! We're now 9 posts in and someone hasn't told us that if we don't live in NYC, why should we care about this.
