Default Ah, So Flavored Cigarettes Are Causing The Problem? We're Banning Them? Okay!

http://www.cigarettesreviews.com/fla...es-into-effect

Canada is banning flavored cigarettes to stop youths from smoking. It's totally gonna work. Just like stuffing them behind a curtain did. And jacking up the prices. Those all stopped us from smoking, every one of us.

Yup, don't see how this could fail.

...So yeah, working in a convenience store gives me a schedule of what days we have to pull down what smokes, but as a whole, flavored cigarettes are circling the drain in Canada. Which sucks, 'cause I smoke Captain Black Sweets.

Let's be fair, banning them isn't going to cause anyone to quit. On the other hand, there's not a damn reason the things should be flavored other than to try to attract new, and in general young, smokers. Kids are already bombarded with a "cigarettes = cool" maelstrom of ads. "Smoke Marlboros! It'll make you into an awesome cowboy! Now in tutti fruity!" "Hey, cowboys are awesome, and I LOVE tutti fruity! Now to get someone of legal age to buy them so I can join in being cool!" You get the idea. Kids start early these days, and while only having shit-flavored cigarettes certainly isn't going to stop them, it at least removes some of the incentive.

I think we're really past the point where kids are 'bombarded' by it.

Hell, the announcers of Top Gear smoked pipes for a comedy bit and they got fined for it.

The other, of course, involves orcs.

Well, to be blunt, that's stupid, because no kid on Earth is going to smoke a pipe.

On the other hand, they've been marketing cigarettes to kids since pretty much forever. Until Joe Camel was killed, at least one study showed more kids recognized him than the president. After said event, it never stopped so much as just got more sneaky. The "for adults only" bit is just as or more alluring to kids, because then smoking makes them adults or rebels, and either one is "cool."

I think flavored cigarettes were banned in the US not too long ago. It was part of a long list of anti-tobacco measures passed not long after Obama got into office.

Pipes will always be color than cigarettes, and in fact I know several people who smoke pipes. Usually while wearing Doyle-esque hats or bowlers or top hats.

But I'm personally all for the banning of any and all cigarettes so kudos to Canada.

Well Blues, that's a broad generalization that my pipe doesn't take kindly to.

Like these? I remember at least three times when I was a student before high school that we had visits from police and doctors and youth protesters talking about how smoking was bad. I don't think kids are going to start smoking because they've flavored cigarettes. A lot of my friends call me stupid for smoking, and are disgusted at the idea of flavored cigarettes.

I guess they lure kids to start smoking the same way that flavored condoms lure kids to have sex with flavored condoms.

Banana? Awesome!
