http://washington.bizjournals.com/washington/stories/2009/06/22/daily21.html the bill allows every cigarette company to have one regular and one menthol. no other tobacco flavors like lights or royals.

yes, its so they dont attract kids or trick people. i saw this on the news a while ago
some companies make fruity flavored ciggs to attract kids. they also use like light and shit to make it seem like its not as bad for you, but that's not true.

i agree with it. whether your a smoker or not, there is no doubt smoking is bad for you

i feel like if you want to smoke you should be able to do it. i think that everyone knows how bad cigarettes are for you and what they are doing to themselves so if people want to smoke then let them.

While i do agree with you this type of logic leads people to arguing that all drugs should be legal.  Everyone knows they are harmful.  For the record my opinion is the drug war is stupid and all the money spent on it should be spent on the war on homelessness.  Oh wait there isnt one of those....

Wait no more lights? Im going to stock up on so many packs of lights.


That being said, the whole flavored and kid stuff is total BS, are they going to ban wine coolers now? Or flavored vodka? I highly, highly doubt it.

This seems easy to get around to me.  It looks like they are just banning those terms, but if a cig company just makes more brand names, couldn't they still be flavored if it was not mentioned in the advertising, just everyone knows that they are flavored?

DUH! They are pulling all of these cigarettes to make room on the shelves for all the different kinds of weed that will be hitting the shelves once the Legalize Marijuana bill passes obviously.
