Day 274 – Flavored Cigarette Ban
Read more…: Day 274 – Flavored Cigarette BanApparently the government decided to cast its oppressive shadow over more of America and ban flavored cigarettesArchived Link. I don’t smoke, so it took me a week and a half to hear about this. This ban is garbage. I have a feeling that the FDA is just getting started with its regulations. Since a lot…
