Dude! Joe's Jottings, Mostly Junk

Flavored Cigarettes Banned | The Onion - America's Finest News Source:

The FDA ban on cigarettes flavored with cloves or fruit—but not menthol—took effect this week. What do you think?

Peter Tudyk,
Optical Manager
"It's really disappointing that we need the government to tell people they shouldn't be smoking clove-flavored cigarettes."

Jake Karuschkat,
Unemployed
"I think that, in the interest of fairness, Bud Light Lime should have to go as well."

Darla McCann,
Help Desk Technician
"Bummer. With clove cigarettes a thing of the past, it won't be long before the Cure breaks up."

Needlesstosay, the libertarian in me is thinking "big time abuse of the commerce clause here...".  Once again, just like censorship, the government oversteps itself on the freedoms of adults in the so-called "interest of protecting children."

I bet you everything I have that there won't be a single noticeable drop in teenager addition rates in the next 5 years.

Prohibition doesn't work.

Still.
