Dunno about good, but he done it. The main reason companies add any flavor to nicotine products is to appeal to kids, but its a personal choice. Kinda difficult to make an opinion about, more just something that happened.
 
they have been adding flavors to weed vapes in my state.. didn't really make sense that they can do that.. some of them actually taste kind of good. i don't think they are really for kids specifically. a kid could be like "l like the complex flavor of pure live resin with out anything tainting it" to want to be a cool conoisseur or people just have different preferences. also you could be like me and want to try camel unfilters to be hard or some shit.. i actually didn't always smoke them.. just got them a few times.. too harsh. lol.

anyways, i like menthol cigarettes, specifically camels. i can't even really inhale nicotine anymore cause my CNS is messed up... sometimes smoking weed in public though what i'll do is empty out the top half or sometimes even less of a cigarette, pack that with weed, smoke that and when it gets down to the tabaco i don't always even inhale. i'll just puff on that and the cigarette always covers up the smell of the weed from my perspective. so if i have to take the bus or something. no one knows... honestly, i've just smoked weed before going on the bus, and no one says anything, but i'm gonna start smoking beside the grocery store where no one goes on the days i have to shop cause i have to move to smoke free housing... i should never get cought with my cigarette trick.. i only get like a few good rips, and that is pretty much burnt up in under a minute, so even if the cops get called, i smell like cigs. i don't want to get a rep for smoking weed in public. enough people smoke cigs at the grocery store where no one should say anything... this reminds me of that thread "do what you need to survive". i've been trying not to do illegal stuff cause it makes me paranoid. i should be alright skeaking this though. it's not the type of paranoia where if i smoke in my smoke free building, they can catch me and kick me out.

a trick if anybody ever wants to do cigarettes/weed like i said and not inhale the cig... get a piece of lavender or something that's easy to inhale and put a small chunk between the weed and tabacoo. this is something i thought to do recently since my CNS is messed up. i used to like the small hit of nicotine mixed with weed.

This is getting really interesting. I read every paragraph of that. I'm good.
 
Is flavored vodka like blueberry and razzberry vodka for targeting kids too?
You're saying a marshmallow or chocolate flavoring isn't more enticing for somebody who's never vaped as opposed to flavorless PG? I seriously doubt any significant population of highschool vapers started out without flavorings.

I’m just saying adults like flavors also.

The whole kids are being targeted by flavors thing is sort of a misrepresentation of what’s going on. All people like flavors

The issue is that flavors are more enticing to somebody who's never smoked or vaped, and the majority of those people are children (as far as people who have yet to smoke but will go on to). You don't meet a lot of smokers who started late. Not that they don't exist, just rare.
I don't really care all that much about the issue but I do think that this is one of the moves that is meant to make trump look like he's working for the average joe, while a lot of the retarded shit he does gets swept under the rug or downplayed by the same people who focus on issues like this. Not saying that's you but I think it's a marketing ploy.
 
Ah no, he is just fucking with Trudeau. And Greenland is a burden to Denmark. Fascism is the government controlling business like in Canada where they have state sanctioned monopolies on business and control people's lives.
You clearly did not find the definition of fascism, but I wouldn't expect somebody who blindly believes what that con man spouts off to try to properly define fascism.

You're just entirely brainwashed and refuse the actual definition. It has nothing to do with businesses. Government sanctioned business would be a form of communism, lol. Very different things.

Fascism, is, like I said, the extra-nationalist behavior of a political party, invoking it's policies in a nation that is not theirs (exactly what he's trying to do lol) and laying claim to people who want nothing to do with you.

Nazis were fascist because they were an expansive regime-run empire. Trump is invoking a regime as we speak, tearing down the actual American government and replacing them all with dribbling nincompoops, a retard regime. And what is expanding into countries that want nothing to do with you? Fascism.

Hopefully eventually you can realize how fucked over the entire country has been by this moron who's lil acorn cock you slobber on so spittily. Linda McMan (WWE founded and a dumb bitch who let her husband shit on her head for a kink) in charge of the public education he's trying to defund? He loves the uneducated (you).
Please read something for once.>

Fascism- is like communism , in that it is expressed in many ways. Besides if Trump were a con man he would be a lot richer like all the globalists backing the left and attacking him. Trump ain't about to invade another country for territory.
He is a patriotic American, obviously you have been brain washed to hate America. Patriotism is different and Trump is more moderate than many conservatives. He uses his business knowledge to his advantage which is good for this country. Fasism is strong central Authority under a dictator, ah we saw 4 years of him; Biden was much more a dictator. Trump is not a racist or going to use force to obtain territory. He also will not use oppression like Biden did of the opposition, let alone violent suppression. State controlled monopolies under a centralized authority, with quasi capitalistic features? That would be Canada. He supports people's right to disagree and unlike Biden isn't going to weaponize the justice system to go after political opponents or have control of the media, like Biden and Obama and actually to a lesser extent Clinton.

You are arrogant and so brain washed you should be wearing a helmet all the time, with extra padding.

You don't understand fascism because you think anyone who disagrees and is patriotic is a racist. Not once did he suppress the media or weaponize the government agencies to go after the opposition like all the Democrats since Clinton. Wow you really should lay off the drugs, I have killed more brain cells than you were born with and yet you are still dumber than me even when I was drunk for last time before, Thank ALMIGHTY GOD I became allergic to alcohol.

Yeah keep regurgitating that bullshit from the leftist media and learn the real definition of fascism and he has done none of those things, while Biden did.
He like Clinton used the Justice Department and various 3 letter agencies to make up and go after those deemed a threat to their globalist left wingers radical political agenda.

At least now we have a real man in office. Even though I may disagree on some of his stuff, I sleep better having someone in Office who believes in free speech, doesn't weapons the Judicial system and is no one's puppet. Oh and keeping China from controlling the Panama Canal which we built, yes using a lot of pananamanian labor, but designed and funded by America. Jimmy Carter, gave it over too a corrupt dictatorial government and now The Chinese who are fascist and not really communist anymore are trying to take it over and fucking up America's economy and trying to take over as much of the world as they can. Greenlanders are more in favor of America having control and it might be for sale since the Danish government can't really afford it.
Him talking about Canada was more than a jab, more of a bitch slap to Trudeau. He ain't going to take anything with force. Besides so many Canadians hate Trudeau and America ain't taking over that mess to the North. We have enough problems after Bush, Obama, and Biden.

You are totally clueless. What exactly did he do during his first presidency, other than get attacked unfairly by both parties who want business as usual? Which is failing. Fucking Obama causing thousands of doctors to be arrested for prescribing needed meds and yes some Doctor Feelgood's but mostly screwing over pain patients and the existential threat to Marijuana legalized in many states by dumbass biden trying to make it a schedule 2 drug. Which means you need to go to a doctor and a pharmacy to legally get weed.

So now it could be back to shitty Mexican weed that is weak and old. Oh well there is Canadian pot, but their good weed never seemed to supply the demand, so shitty ass weed from Mexico if this federal judge gets his way.

Trump kept the look the other way policy but Biden may because of a federal judge fuck up our freedom.
Hopefully the DEA, under Biden will not keep there objective of going after prescription amphetamines, or the new opiod crisis as they called it under Biden.

A pragmatic patriot is not a fascist; Biden and Obama fit the real definition much better and so did Bush to a lesser extent. Besides they were always using race to divide and conquor. They were the racists. Oh you need more blacks and Hispanics, even if there was a a white, Asian or Middle Eastern person more qualified. That is racism.
The left doesn't talk much anymore about MLK. Something about judging a person not by the color of their skin but the content of their character. Which doesn't align well with affirmative action.

Lay off the drugs and preserve the very few brain cells you have left.

I think this pretty much sums up your argument, sad. Can't even find the simple definition I asked you to educate yourself on because you simply would rather cover your ears and have been indoctrinated into a group of idiots because you find acceptance only there.

For the record, I am not the one who's sitting here writing a thesis in defense of my Messiah, I'm just trying to get you to understand that every politic has outside interests and the definition of a word that has deep significance in the area you're writing. I'm a centrist. Who's really brainwashed? The last question I'll leave you with, while I'm sure if I read all your ramblings I could dismantle it by pulling yarn.

And wait till ya see the prices on shit after Trumps tariffs take effect.
"But look at the stockmarket"- a starving man under Stalin, probably.
 
Just to clarify.. the FDA proposed a ban on menthol cigarettes and the Biden administration basically did a pocket veto on it? Twice?

So Trump didn't "reverse" anything.


The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed a federal ban on menthol cigarettes in April 2022, but the Biden administration has delayed a final decision. The FDA's proposed rule was sent to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for final review in October 2023, but the administration missed deadlines to issue a final rule in December 2023 and March 2024.

I started with normal cigarettes and switched to menthols much later. My take is banning menthols will have little to no positive effect and will just piss people off.

It's 2025 are there people who still think a sitting U.S President called Nazis very fine people on national television? Cause that never happened and Biden based his entire campaign on that hoax and he kept saying it after Trump got shot.
 
exactly.. have to order my menthols off the internet. I smoke American Spirits.. so an American company.. i’d just buy menthol and try doing it myself. Really pretty silly when you think about it logically.

The medical and legislative morons who are in severe secondary fault at the opiate apocalypse are intelligent and well trained practitioners of a technical field. They aren’t creative or imaginative thinkers. They are best at diagnosing a well documented condition and then implementing a traditionally successful treatment.

if they would have left the opiate patients currently being treated alone and implemented the necessary pain management changes on new patients 100s of thousands of people would still be alive. The black market would not even be close to what it is. It fed off and increased exponentially because the medical genuses are utterly clueless in so many areas.

Bans don’t work on really popular products.

And then trumps owner throws out a hard heil Hitler salute at trump’s inauguration (surprised that fucker didn’t break his fucked up neck, probably too ripped on K and pills to feel it anyways).

Then CPAC previously had a stage in the shape of a Nazi rune.

There sure seems to be a ton of Nazi adjacent shit going on with Trump even though he skirts the edges of it all. Lots of his language is verbatim language Hitler used also, loud dog whistles.

Actual Neo Nazis also love him for some reason.

Don’t “what about” me with Biden or Kamala; both those fuckers belong in prison for life along with Trump so I don’t care
