[QUOTE="Kapnismologist, post: 91044, member: 487"] For all intents and purposes, there is NO distinction made between pipe tobacco, RYO, snuff, manufactured puffed-stem-and-chip cigarettes, cigars, blunt wrappers, cherry-flavored reconstituted sheet, etc., etc., etc. by the antis - it is ALL the devil's weed. The goal is the prohibition of all tobacco (or, in the case of much mass produced stuff: 'tobacco-like' materials). The modus operandi is that of incrementalism. Divide and conquer is an ancient strategy used effectively for millennia. Sometimes it is easier to 'clique-up' than to see the larger picture - but here we are talking about something much larger than the concerns of a minute minority of botique pipe tobacco enthusiasts. I think the thoughtful meditation by Greg Pease, "Us vs. Them," is a good read in such instances: [url=http://glpease.com/BriarAndLeaf/?p=50]http://glpease.com/BriarAndLeaf/?p=50[/url] [/QUOTE]
