RJ Reynolds declares war on e-cigarette companies and consumers in states

[Petrodus]

Cigarettes ... Good
E-cigarettes .... Bad (not proven to be 100% safe)


A lot of money on the line.
However, even RJR knows the future for smoking is E-smoking.

Someday the only place you will be able to legally "light-up"
will be out in the country ... as long as you're no closer
than 2 miles from the nearest cow !!

Sad, but true. I sure miss the hardware store we had here. I could actually find what I wanted, and it was good quality. Not to mention, the people there had knowledge of what they sold.

Every time Walmart announces plans to open a store in a community ...
Everyone seems to complain about they will push out the small businesses
and campaign to boycott Walmart promoting shopping at local stores.

Soon after Walmart opens ... Almost everyone is strolling up and down
the Walmart isles.

The hardware stores don't bother me as much. Home depot invests quite a bit of money for knowledgeable staff on certain topics. I've seen them hire contractors and pay them well enough to keep them around as "consultants"

Reynolds appears to be covering all their bases. I think they know that cigarettes are not going to be a sustainable business in the near future. They are even coming out with an NRT gum.

I was one that was hoping BT coming into vaping would be a good thing. Looks like I was sorely mistaken.

I don't have a Home Depot within 50 miles. I depended on hardware stores to get my tools. Now it's cheap Wally World crap, or drive 50 miles to pick up only few items.

WalMart = Dewalt? No! Starrett? No! Eswing? No! Brown & Sharpe? No! Delta? No!
