When I started smoking, age 11 and I'm 52, it was under a buck a pack. Still should be. Prolly the only person here who actually spent awhile picking the stuff. The producers/growers don't get anymore money. Just the guvmint.

In these times, the 'black' market is the true 'Free Market'. Since my first cigarette, prices have gone from $6 a carton to over $100/carton in New Jersey. Yeah, there's no inflation.....save for TAXATION. Tar & Nicotine has saved many lives from COVID-19. Us smokers have finely tuned ACE receptors which laughs off common respiratory viruses like SARS-COV2. A Turkish king was once beheaded by the people when he tried to ban tobacco. History tends to repeat itself.... or just suck on a carrot. The call for lowering the nicotine in cigarettes is definitely related to Covid-19, the incidence of current smokers admitted to hospitals with Covid-19 is much lower than the prevalence of smokers in the general population, about 70%. Tobacco and nicotine are one of the strongest anti-inflammatory substances known to man. The same applies for the call to ban menthol cigarettes: [link to grfpublishers.com (secure)] "It appears logical that agents (menthol) which could have potential anti-COVID-19 effects, and we conduct molecular docking to predict their capacity for binding ACE2, which may subsequently prevent the coronavirus infection" Most Western governments around the world do not tolerate drugs or substances that appear to be successful as a treatment for Covid-19, because that would eliminate the need for a vaccine. I believe that's why these drugs or substances with promising results are either banned or discouraged Some more examples: Hydroxychloroquine combined with Zinc or Ivermectine: Dutch physicians face a possible fine of $150,000 if they endorse these drugs off-label St. John's wort: My country has issued a warning for St. John's wort and is now considering a ban after research showed 2 month's ago effectiveness in blocking Sars-Cov-2 replication.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76227265 United States 04/28/2021 08:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What is it about nicotine that "bothers" them? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80268014 they certainly do NOT care for anyone's health or well-being, except their own. Let me clue you in. You like a nice chicken dinner? Well how would you like it if that chicken smoked a pack a day? Not as much, right? So aside from Hillary Clinton, who's eating people? Let me clue you in. The greys feed by putting a batch of human organs in fluid then they basically take a bath in it, absorbing through their skin. Why do you think in China they remove the organs of concentration camp prisoners (without anaesthetic?) Where do you think those organs are going, for medical use? Wakey wakey. Aliens don’t exist |

Then everyone is susceptible to the damn virus and will be clamoring for the shot after so many new cases. A new wave. Wild speculation, nothing more. There's always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Corillian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on this miserable little planet, and the only way these people can get on with their happy lives is that they DO NOT KNOW ABOUT IT! -Men in Black |
