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 unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • 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.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

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.

In other news out on the wire....Cali street herb is now cheaper than the Taxed to hell legally dispensed chronic. Store are feeling the pinch and are shutting down.  The state is seeing millions of tax dollars going up in smoke.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

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

  • Well EXCUSE me!
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.
