Cloves Banned by the FDA!

[Soulrev]

It's not over yet! I hold in my hand a pack of Djarum Black "Filtered Clove Cigars" .. They come in packs of 12 and are hardly different from clove cigarettes. They had the cherry, vanilla, and splash flavors in the same manner, as well.

I bought 2 packs off the bat.

Oh...so, you missed it when I found that out days ago? Really?

Note: Many stores still have the occasional pack of cloves left... I've been stocking up.

Torn: In response to the it's my life and I'll fuck it up comment. I disagree with using the taxpayers dime so much that I'd die in my home rather than seek medical treatment if I didn't have insurance. (Currently, I have insurance, so my stomach can kill me long before the cigs do.) I also don't smoke around people if they don't want me to, hell I don't typically even smoke in the house. I smoke at bars that allow smoking.

If it's true that one cig gets you 7 minutes closer to death. I may have cut out half a year... Maybe a quarter of a year. I'm quite serious that my body will find a way to kill me off sooner.

Hmmm...I'll have to check those out. Sounds like they just changed the packaging. Or, are the wrappers different?

I totally said this

They has thin tobacco leaf outers...thus, becoming a cigar...probably, the inerds are quite the same.

They have them by me! They taste virtually identical. The 12-pack makes it easier to pick them up to go to the club and not feel like I'm overspending, too.

All in all there really isn't to much that this whole BANNED thing has changed.... Manufacturers just found easy ways around it.

I just want to make sure here, but does everyone get the big picture here? It's going to come down to a ban on cigarettes and tobacco products all together. Force people to quit smoking, and their universal healthcare system might stand a chance. Then they will regulate the food we eat and soon, we will have no more freedoms. There will be no more overweight unhealthy people because the government will make sure we are eating exactly what they think is best for us. Ya know.. They're just watching our back.. Right??

We may as well be the crazy kooks who stand out on Woodward, yelling into the wind. Nobody else seems to get it. I'm beginning to feel like I'm pissin' up a fekkin' ROPE, trying to warn my fellow Americans about these hidden political agendas. I know that someday, it will be folks like us saying "I told ya so!"

..that is, if we aren't thrown into prison, for speaking out against The Machine.

And for those of you who don't like to smoke or eat junk food, it will be something else that affects YOUR lifestyle, soon enough, if those things are allowed to be stamped out by the government. After all of the physically "unclean" stuff is gone, what's next? Our collective mental health, of course. Are you all ready for mass censorship and restrictions placed upon our media, our entertainment, our clothing?

Well, I guess that's all this crazy old coot has to say for now. I must get back to knitting sweaters out of cat hair, and trying to hear the radio signals coming in through my fillings.

Government is an evil destructive force,run by unfit corporations run by asshole CEO garbage that want you to bow down to them and decide what your opinions should be,unless you can escape this force and live free in another land,the only other way out is suicide, which they will stop so they can keep you alive and make you suffer.only the drones will say everything is ok,but us people who know whats going on will be the ones that can hopefully stop this bs from destroying the earth,moon and possibly the universe.

Government is supposed to be run by the people who vote not the other way around!

I am always slowly preparing for Anarchy, but I believe it is the eventual end result of government... Too much power will always corrupt and it may not even be my generation that the state of anarchy will come down on, but I honestly believe it will. I just don't voice my opinion because everyone already thinks I'm crazy enough.
