While the primary focus is cigarettes, we can all bet that any legislation will simply state "tobacco" which will group cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, chew, into the flavor ban. There are many manufacturers who only produce flavored cigars and the impact on many companies will be bad. Pipe tobacco has practically always had flavoring.

We have all these flavored beers, hard teas, flavored vodka's which is MORE of a lure for underage use than smoking. Alcohol is a drug, however it is not being *flavor regulated* like tobacco. They complain about secondhand smoke, but what about the DUI's and deaths from underage drinkers consuming alcohol that tastes like Kool-Aid?

Our country is headed down a very bad path. It's no wonder ammo is so hard to find. You can't keep taxing and taking away peoples pleasures. First SCHIP, now the FDA. Where does it end?

"“[Smoking] has a huge cost to our society. We have an opportunity to put an end to that". No, it actually doesn't. Longevity cost our society more in terms of dollars and cents than any smoker ever has. That's a fact and something that is not being discloused to America.

Just think about it. Cutting a tumour and giving someone chemo costs a lot less than sticking someone in a money pit covered by insurance companies for the last 20yrs of their life.

I agree with dmjones comments above. The two party system has failed the American people. The Republicans have lost my support and trust. The Democrats never had it. Vote Libertarian! Go Bob Barr… Go Ron Paul!
