obama closed down the stores that let you roll your own tobacco while leaving packs that are $6-7 free to be sold whos this help phillip morris (satans seal) these cigarettes only contain tobacco not fillers like in the stores prepackaged so they are healthier (cough) than regular cigarettes the real agenda is to help americans lose weight and stop smoking to help them fit better into fema camps 800+ across the us btw i dont smoke im sure this new law didnt affect cigars

They have also asked the FDA to regulate those smokeless cigarettes because they say they are harmful now...

Im not aware of legislation prohibiting the sale of tobacco or rolling papers... can someone clarify if and when this happened?

the machines that you use to roll your own cigs they have stores that poped up all over you pay for tobacco then put it in the machine and it rolls you a carton for like $25 you can still roll your own at home i dont see how this would help kids theres no info on the net but they just shut down all the stores here in pittsburgh pa

Always research these types of things,,,,, it is probably a much simpler, local, reason that machines were taken out,,, kind of like how the telephone booth was all of a sudden gone with the advent of cell phones,,,may have been a demand and supply issue,,,

There is no such thing as big labor anymore Mr Conrad, you must get with the times. The vast majority of workers are "working poor" that would be fair assessment of the majority of American workers, how about things in Zurich?

I can get name brand cigs for 20.00 a carton. That includes paying the tax stamp. Maybe, it would be worth it to black market them. JK. Don'tcha know. I quit a bit over 3 years ago. Still love the smell.

I would be the first to admit I do not know much about Swiss labor unions so I looked it up, it seems the Swiss are are far more unionized than Americans........ About one quarter of the labor force was unionized in 2002. Read more: Labor - Switzerland - sector http://www.nationsencyclopedia.com/Europe/Switzerland-LABOR.html#ixzz204IIUIBx
