The new federal law makes it harder for stores with roll-your-own cigarette machines to classify the tobacco they sell as pipe tobacco –- which is taxed at a lower rate than cigarette tobacco.
Want to smoke tobacco without paying taxes? Grow and cure your own. Problem, solution.
encouraging the gov to make people pay more for their personal preferences and freedoms to consume, use, like what they wish that causes no one else harm, is a slippery slope with a cliff attached.
Sure. But all this is doing is closing a loophole meant to allow people to sell pipe tobacco. I'm all for personal liberty, direct and explicit. Not people misusing loopholes.
And like I said, you are free to grow and cue your own. I've done it before. Empower yourself instead of blaming the 'government'.
most ppl already do this but this is about restricting access to automated assistance and that's total BS.
Just buy your own rolling machines. They aren't that expensive

I'm solving my cigarette problem with an E-smoke. E-smokes vaporize liquid nicotine, so there is no combustion of paper, nor any smoke to inhale. It's simply vapour.
Big-pharma doesn't get my money anymore, nor do the tobacco companies. A "carton" of E-liquid runs me about $22, which is way cheaper than the $80 I was spending before. I no longer have a smokers cough, I don't smell like tobacco, and I can smoke my E-smoke anywhere!

I don't recall saying anything was going to be banned. However what I did say was it could affect shops whose primary business comes from RYO smokes based on using these machines, because they only sell loose tobacco, not packaged cigarettes.
