    Balls, now on top of seeing all the holier-than-thou commercials I'm gonna have to stare at a label telling me how this will kill me twenty times over? Well I guess I'll just give it up then.
    What a gaggle of sad little fairies, I remember how flabbergasted I was when I found out that most of the pictures in health books in high school showing the mouths of "dippers" and "smokers" were actually pictures of some scurvy-ridden opium feind dug up from some thatch shack in Nowhere, Malaysia.
    I use a wide range of tobacco products on a limited basis, so I get to stare down every warning label that gets hatched, and hear every speech from every person who had a family get "killed by big tobacco." I had a professor who seriously looked me in the eye and said "both my parents died from lung cancer, I hate cigarettes." Thats like saying some gang-banger shot your dad so now you hate Smith & Wesson (wait, some dofuses already say that) I mean imagine how wimpy Batman would've turned out had that been the case (he may not use guns, but he's no wuss)?
    No it's more like saying "my dad got drunk and jumped off a cliff so screw booze and screw cliffs."
    Whatever, when will people just leave well enough alone? I wonder when they'll make me put a warning label on my motorcycle.
    Sorry for the rant (no I'm not ) it's been a long time since my last post, man has this site gotten a makeover.

      Yeah, I bought some cigs today, though I'm wishin' now I didn't, but anyway, neither pack, of the 2, well 3, had any big warnings, just the old regular sized worded one.

        There isn't labels on motorcycles yet!!???? I'm sure those labels are on the books, it's just a matter of time.

        I have noticed that cigarettes such as Marlboro seem to be taking on a more generic look, thanks FDA, meaning descriptive words have been removed, the only way you know that you are getting Lights is by the coloration of the packaging. (I'm sure this is old news to most of you, I just noticed this the other day at my c-store) I wonder how long it will take before Bud "Light" or Michelob "Ultra Light" is no longer allowed to exist. All this talk of warnings and crap has gotten me all fired up now!

          I guess it's tobacco now, I am suprised alcohol hasn't been attacked much, still TV ads, light varieties, high alc varieties, I'd rather a car of teens have a pack of cigs than a fifth of whisky. Next a box of Little Debbies will have a big label over 1/3 of it, Warning: May Cause Diabetes.

            I just peeled off the label on a can of Thunder frosted minis. To my surprise, there was another label underneath with no Cancer warning on it. Problem solved.

                ~~
                Just need to find some good tins to move it to. Order some Taboca even if you don't like it and switch it out into that (nice metal can). If I still smoked and had to buy packs with nasty ass decrepid feet on them, I sure as shit would be buying a nice, shiny roll-your-own cigarette holder/box.

                BTW, what's up with the Jak WG labels? All of a sudden it CAN cause cancer instead of MAY? Is it because of what they used to sweeten it or something? Like a non-traditional ingredient so the old swedish medical review don't apply?

                  Perhaps we can make some stickers to put over part of the warning labels
                  so it reads: Congratulations:This Product is a Safer Alternative to Cigarettes.

                  Two separate stickers one : Congratulations:
                  and one : is a Safer

                  Can we get The Northerner to Market them. I doubt it.

                    I don't think big warning labels will have any effect, it's just to appease the anti-tobacco extremists.

                      FDA requires the stupid labels

                        Anti-smokey smell and anti-dip spit lunatics. They're trying their damnedest to find a reason to ban e-cigarrettes. Anti-cigarette looking vapor emiting device lobby.

                          Grizzly dip just sent me an email, saying their new cans will have the larger warnings, and it included a pic of it, with the warning taking up a third of the can top.

                            Yeh, that sucks a lot. It's same in europe. The warning labels is like half of the cigarette box.
                            It looks very stupid.

                              Pretty soon snus cans will have a big picture of a dead fetus on them.

                                Based on the Thunder labels you'd think a portion would kill you.
