[QUOTE="szyzk, post: 441378, member: 1657"] I'm a tobacconist. I deal with this every day. I wretch every time I hear a government official spew some "statistic" about children abusing pipe tobacco or cigars. It's not happening. Kids aren't curious when it comes to premium tobacco, kids aren't brand aware in regards to this industry, kids aren't spending $10 on a tin of tobacco or a cigar to rush home and smoke it behind the garage with their friends, and kids aren't bombarded with this stuff the way they are alcohol and other forms of tobacco. I'm spoken to Senators and Representatives before, and I've proposed a simple experiment to those who support FDA oversight "for the children". My experiment is to go to any grade school and ask the kids to raise their hand when they recognize the name, logo, or slogan of, or have used the products of, the following companies: Marlboro, Budweiser, Arturo Fuente, Jack Daniels, Samuel Gawith, Bacardi, Jim Beam, Coors, Camel, Montecristo. Which ones will you see hands raised for and which ones won't you see hands raised for? Keep premium tobacco in the hands of certified, dedicated resellers so that it stays out of the hands of children, and stop attempting to oversee the industry. Simple as that. Allow adults to continue to choose to use premium tobacco; that's why we're adults. [/QUOTE]
