TobaccoFree pushing cigars!!

[Uma]

TobaccoFree.org Facebook site was seen pushing cigars onto ex-smokers today. Holding it right under their noses, tricking them to bend over into the monitor to get a better whiff. Many FB posters are complaining about neck aches, bruised foreheads, smashed pug noses, and scratchy watery eyes. The TobaccoFree.org recommended Chantix, the Patch, Nicorette gum and the nicotine lollipop, to help them with their cravings and symptoms.

If you hurry, perhaps you will win a prize!

You all don't believe me, because I tried to be humorous with it, but it's true. They have a little game going called Name this tobacco Product.

If that's not an advertisement to get people off the wagon and back onto their sponsors pharmaceuticals, I don't know what is.

But they look like smokes, and people smoke smokes, and they're pushing smokes under their noses, literally if you have an iPad like I do, and geee, it's right on the heels of chantix new advertising commercial they need to pay for yet. And I'll stop now and say... I know, right!

Now it's Native American Day, with a picture of a beautiful NA lady holding tobacco leaves. They mention how tobacco is a religious experience... Oops, I mean that tobacco was/is used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years until ANTZ made them feel like murderers and made them give up smoking it. They must have switched to vaping it instead. No wonder SG is so .......

Today is a contest to SPOT THE TOBACCO advertisements or sales pitches.
The tobacco companies don't have to advertise, they just have TobaccoFreeCa.com do it for them while they try to stir up business for chantix, patch & gum.

Today's headlines are about how smokes advertise to the poor, African Americans and other minority groups.
This must mean that the excessive taxes are aimed at the poor, AA's, and the minorities.




In light of the Native American ad they ran the other day, I did a little google search and found a lot about how the gov is trying desperately to collect excessive tax money from them.

Wow. Just wow. Completely speechless

Technically, states are authorized to tax cigarettes sold on reservations to non-Indians, but they don't have the authority to enter reservations to collect that tax.

As you might guess, this infuriates some public officials. New York City Mayor Bloomberg went so far as to urge then-Governor David Paterson to "get yourself a cowboy hat and a shotgun" to collect cigarette taxes from Indian tribes and their customers.

Thanks for showing off the ANTZ games on that page

You are welcome!
If NY can't have the Native Americans tax money, then they'll take away their smoke signals, by hiring ANTZ and rallying the nation.

The war against tobacco was always meant to demonize people who used it. Then once they isolate those dregs of society they get the backing of the masses to tax them into oblivion. Most will say how bad it is so it should be taxed. Bad to smoke cigarettes?? No doubt. Does taxing it to high heaven make it go away?? No. Do they want it to go away? Hell no, they would never part with the money. Now they are targeting the obese. Next it will be some other evil.

Adults should be able to do whatever they want. Such is the price of freedom. I gave up analogs and love vaping. I do however enjoy some of my very high end premium cigars and have no intention of replacing those.

The ruling elitist's cherish their control over the great unwashed masses and that will never change. Just look at what they did in Washington state telling everyone to save the planet and drive a prius. Once they found out how much they were losing in gas taxes they decided they wanted to put a special (fee) read "tax" on those thinking they were saving the planet.

The tax whores will do anything to fund whatever crowd they need to pander to so that they can stay in power. They however grant themselves special privileges that only apply to the ELITE.

Look how there is a two front war on vaping. The government doesn't want to lose their tax money and the pharmaceutical companies don't want to lose their profits from cessation products that don't work. So vaping HAS TO BE BAD. Just as bad if not worse than smoking.


Divide and conquer. Works every time.

We are only as free as we allow ourselves and others to be.

Sorry for the rant.
