[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 669231, member: 9"] Yippee!!! According to MSNBC News, the House overwhelmingly passed their new tobacco bill. Today, Friday, following the Senate's overwhelmingly passing the bill, they passed their version onto the House. Thus, Congress has overwhelmingly passed the anti-tobacco bill which will be submitted to King Obama ASAP for signing into Law. Now the "good news" (IMHO): [list]Tobacco Prices (aka new taxes) will increase. No more "light" or other (faux) cigarette blends. Tobacco companies will have to increase their costs to wholesalers due to more Federal mandates. No more mail-order discount cigarettes. Probably a new wave of "Post Traumatic Stress Disorders" for those that can't afford new tobacco prices (less $$ for food and Rx for the poor). Alleged "reduction" in tobacco related illnesses. Possible "increased" medical costs for PTSD, anxiety, and others going nuts during withdrawal (for those that decide to "try" to quit.[/list] Are you ready for $10. a pack cigarettes? Your Tax Dollars at Work...Priceless! [/QUOTE]
