Remember Prohibition and how well banning alcohol worked out?
People will simply grow their own tobacco. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Proving that there is no aspect of life that the bungling bureaucrats in the Biden administration can't over-regulate, there are now plans to force cigarette companies to reduce the level of nicotine in their products.
The Biden administration is moving forward on a plan to mandate the elimination of nearly all nicotine in cigarettes, a policy that would upend the $95 billion U.S. cigarette industry and, health officials say, prompt millions of people to quit smoking.
The plan, unveiled Tuesday as part of the administration's agenda of regulatory actions, likely wouldn't take effect for several years. The Food and Drug Administration plans to publish a proposed rule in May 2023. Then it would invite public comments before publishing a final rule. Tobacco companies could then sue, which could further delay the policy's implementation.
...The policy would apply to all cigarettes sold in the U.S. Imports of traditional cigarettes would be barred but multinational tobacco companies could continue to sell full-nicotine cigarettes in other countries. New Zealand's Ministry of Health also has proposed a reduction of nicotine in cigarettes to very low levels as part of a broader plan to curb smoking.

I quit smoking in 1969 so I do not have a dog in this fight. That being said I am totally opposed to this potential move. People who choose to smoke do so at their own risk. There is plenty of information about the perils of smoking.
It is just none of the government's damn business.
Not everybody smokes two packs a day, or needs their hand held by big brother. If the potato regime is so worried about the health of American citizens they should worry about the 100.000 people a year dying from fentanyl due to Brandon's open borders.
What's next, fast food?

Good question, considering they're destroying our food processing system. :sneaky:

It's pretty freaky when misanthropes are buying up all the farmland they can get their claws on after spending decades blathering about how we need to de-populate. :sneaky:

When the food shortages hit that are promised us by the DNC, those who are going hungry need to camp out on Gates doorstep.
Let them eat cake.
