Democrat Bill in California Would Eventually Ban ALL Tobacco Sales, but Not Marijuana
By Mike LaChance Feb. 25, 2023 10:45 pm158 Comments


A new Democrat-authored bill making its way through the legislature in California would eventually ban the sale of all tobacco products.

The bill would not affect marijuana, however.

This is typical of Democrats. They claim to be all about choice but it’s a lie. They don’t want people to be able to make their own choices. They have already banned menthol cigarettes in some places.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Has anyone ever studied marijuana smoke for carcinogens?

Maybe they prefer the delicate aroma of skunk to tobacco.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Of course, considering the underground already in place for weed distribution, likely the opportunity will go to those same illegal weed growers...  :whistle:

But if they ban all tobacco what will happen to all those wonderful taxes the state collects? Will they just increase taxes some where else? OF COURSE THEY WILL! We are talking about the socialists running the state after all. And what about the extra tax on tobacco products that socialist Meathead Reiner helped convince idiot California voters to pass 'for the children'? No one can expect the children, and the special anti tobacco advertisers to do without their money, so there will have to be another tax levied to keep them in the dough!

What are Noisome and his troupe of socialist buttmonkeys thinking? Don't they realize how many of the illegal migrants they work so hard to bring into California are smokers and this kind of restriction will simply cause them to relocate to other states or heaven forbid, break the law and smoke anyway? At least the socialist democrats will have added new jobs to the state...tobacco smugglers.
