My kreteks, too?

[Wolfie]

If I'm understanding this correct, this would apply to all tobacco, killing kreteks, flavoured cigars and a lot of pipe tobacco as well. Is that everybody elses take on it or am I missing a piece of the puzzle? Shall I go stock up now? I love my kreteks.

* FDA regulations will supersede weaker state laws, a major expansion of federal power;
* The bill bans the words "light" or "mild" in tobacco advertising, as well as any words that give the impression that one cigarette is less dangerous than another;
* It bans flavored tobacco products, like clove or cappuccino cigarettes (yes, they exist);
* It requires companies to submit a complete list of ingredients in the tobacco, paper, filter and other components, and allows the FDA to require the removal of any additive it says is dangerous;
* It requires this list of ingredients to be placed on all labels, which will itemize chemicals added to tobacco products;
* It restricts tobacco marketing to children, such as tobacco billboards near schools.

Finally, the legislation applies to all tobacco products, not just cigarettes, and it passes all of the additional costs of new regulations back to the tobacco companies.

That's sounds correct to me... although I don't know when it's going into action...

B-b-b-but . . . how can we ever have a box pass here again without Grape White Owls to joke about?

I can see it now. Seedy characters lurking about decaying downtowns and outside fried chicken stands and bus terminals . . . "Psssst! Got weed, crack, meth . . . Philly Blunts! All flavors!" :laugh:

hmmmm. I wonder how much money I can make off this. err....I mean... No!

Sadly, if I want my counterpart to smoke with me, it means stocking up on Moontrance as that's pretty much all she'll touch.

I wonder how this is going to effect Drew Estates Acid brand??? I know they don't have blatantly advertised flavors but they are flavor infused or whatever....

As anybody who's anybody knows, the WO Herf crew can supply all of your WO needs. I currently have stock of 7 packs of those beauties, aging right next to my Don Carlos Anniversarios. They should be prime for smoking in about 2 months. Let me know.
