What the hell! I mean, is it bad for me? YES, I KNOW. Do I smoke in front of people who don't smoke? NO. So, as an adult, I am no longer allowed to do with my body what I want to do with my body. Thanks, Mein Furher, for running my life better then I can run it

I mean, America has an epidemic of obesity that is killing people left and right...so, why doesn't Obama ban the flavor chocolate? Why stop with kreteks?

The whole thing is absurd and really has got me angry. And no, I AM STILL NOT QUITTING! IF ANYTHING, THIS LAW MAKES ME WANNA SMOKE MORE OUT OF SPITE!

I will either A) buy them from the internet where I am sure I can get them on there somewhere from Canada or something, because the law does not effect imports or B), buy pipe tobacco and add spices and roll my own damn cloves.

And you know, people are saying how great it is to have a "pro-choice" president who respects a woman's right to a choose...but what about MY RIGHT TO CHOOSE how the hell I want to poison my body!?

KEEP YOUR LAWS OF OF MY BODY AND OUT OF MY LUNGS!


I am 27, black, and from the blue state of New Jersey, and there is no way in hell I would ever vote for this Fascist piece of human filth ever again.

Wow, after all MAO-bama has done to destroy America, this person is upset over clove ciggaretts bieng banned?

I wasnt that fond of McCain nor Palin but I knew this was going to be like this with Obama so I had to take one and vote for McCain.

I have spoken to quite a few that voted for Obama and arent going to again. So you arent alone.

Who cares if you're Black and will not vote for Obama? Your race could have gone without saying... particularly since your reasons are race-neutral.

computer vomit? WTF are you talking about? I hate the smell of cloves, they make me want to vomit, like a human, not a computer.

I have to give you credit for standing up for what you believe in. That's what makes us American's, and we do our "standing up" at the ballot box. Reps to you!

It's funny how the liberals are all up in arms about any kind of cigarettes but would support smoking all the dope you want.

Regarding your race and who you vote for, I DO think it is relevant. Why? Because I highly doubt anyone can come up with a substantial resource indicating that young, black individuals voted for John McCain enmasse. So to me, it is interesting to hear the opposition given that most black folks likely did vote for Obama.

Granted this is exit polling data, it still gives a decent example of what i'm saying:

Exit Polls - Election Results 2008 - The New York Times

95% voted for Obama, which makes it all that more compelling hearing the opinion of a black individual who has now changed his/her mind.

Um ... not all blacks voted for the current dingbat-n-chief .. I have several very good black friends that couldn't trust him farther than they could throw him even before the election.

If you really want to know the main body that voted for the Nobama man? All you have to do is look around at all of those 20 something ill-informed and emotional liberal white folks ... you know the ones I'm talking about ... they sit on the computer and play games all day and wouldn't know a real job if one were to byte them in the butt.
