[QUOTE="Dutch, post: 394879, member: 1387"] My guess is that one reason you are seeing so much support for this type of change, would be the costs to insurance companies for long term care of critically ill patients who smoked cigarettes until they developed cancer. Truth is, there are very few people who enjoy cigarettes in moderation. IMO, the cigar and pipe industry should sue the cigarette companies for destroying a noble industry and a dignified hobby. When I changed occupations a little over a year ago, it changed my smoking habits. There are periods I have gone for 6 weeks without a cigar or a pipe, and I never experienced withdrawal symptoms. Very few non smokers can be convinced of the facts, because of the devastation the chemical laced cigarette has created. At this point, they don't want some tobacco use curtailed, they want it completely outlawed. If you asked them their view on legalizing marijuana, my guess is that most would say that it isn't as harmful as tobacco. The bottom line is that the cigarette companies have done the pipe tobacco and cigar companies a great disservice. We are going to have to find a way to enjoy our pipes and cigars, and live with it.
