Dumber than dumb,

Ok, so if you haven't heard the FDA is banning flavored cigs.

omg.

I don't smoke, but this is one of the dumbest things I've seen in a while.

Of course, menthol is excluded (incidentally Phillip Morris helped write the bill)...
but cloves are not.

Seriously, this feels a lot like ... you should ban mostly my competitors favors, no really you should they're bad...

The coverage I am seeing actually talks about cloves as the gateway cig for children.

WTF.

But wait it gets "better". (I use the word here as zim does ... "Made the fires worse? ... or better!")

from npr:

"If there's a loophole, it's for what the FDA calls "bona fide pipe tobacco," which can still be flavored. Put that in your pipe and smoke it."

So wait, people can't buy filtered clove cigarettes, but they can buy clove tobacco and roll unfiltered cigarettes to smoke. This is the dumbest thing I have read in a while.

cloves, cigs, fda, nanny state
