FDA announces comprehensive regulatory plan to shift trajectory of tobacco-related disease, death
The FDA plans to begin a public dialogue about lowering nicotine levels in combustible cigarettes to non-addictive levels through achievable product standards. The agency intends to issue an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) to seek input on the potential public health benefits and any possible adverse effects of lowering nicotine in cigarettes. Because almost 90 percent of adult smokers started smoking before the age of 18 and nearly 2,500 youth smoke their first cigarette every day in the U.S., lowering nicotine levels could decrease the likelihood that future generations become addicted to cigarettes and allow more currently addicted smokers to quit.

Just more proof taxing the crap out of something never works. If government thinks they can avoid peoples pursuit of a nicotine high, they are wasting our tax dollars.
The idea of having a 12-pack of beer in the fridge and a pack of smokes in the cupboard is good enough for me. Actually using the product? Maybe it's lost it's fad *hic*cough*wheeze*
My buddy texted me yesterday morning. He'll be 60 in March. Known him half his life. He claims he drank 20 Yuenglings Friday and had no hangover Saturday. He probably smoked more than a pack throughout the day.
On the other hand, if tonight I drank seven or eight beers and smoked four-five cigarettes, a mild endeavor for a teenager or 20-something, I'd be ill for four days ...
Just like humans will look back in 300 years to the people of today, shaking their heads at our wastefulness of valuable petrochemical resources for mere transportation, they'll also wonder what we were thinking with smoking. Humans are the only mammals, the only anything, who willfully inhale smoke from burning matter.
That said, I could do with a good single malt and a cigar [:D]
Bought a pack in November and a pack in May. Gave both away when they got stale, with just a few missing.

No Smokes in the House, But have enough Liqueur and wine to tie one on for a while. Just never touch it. Have to be in the right mood. Been a couple of years since that mood hit.
everytime i hear someone claim "there is 7,000 deadly chemicals in a cigarette" my answer is "name 7 of them"

guess it depends on who is reporting it joe [:D]
Those of us who smoke have been placed in a leper colony for quite some time now. That is all I have to say.[V]
That is because the less than considerate smoker's behavior impacts the people around them.

Both the FDA as well as the tobacco industry are focusing on young people entering the market.
The link you have posted doesn't prove anything that you claim.
Taxation (raising the price), increasing legal smoking ages, banning smoking in certain places, and advertising have all been in place for some years now.
Decreasing the level of the addictive drug available to first time users may reasonably be expected to decrease the number who choose to continue to smoke despite all the other barriers.
Are the numbers of smokers rising, or falling ???

Boy, on a hot night, a case of ice-cold bottles of beer and a pack of smokes would seem like a normal diversion. Maybe 30 years ago. I'd probably be wheezing for days, physically ill as well.
On a recent camping trip I brought whiskey and smokes but ended up not touching the stuff.
My thrill was getting out of the tent at first light for solitary coffee. Me and the birds, 4:30am.
i started smoking when i was 15 and i quit when i was 28 in 1971, the state just raised the tax a nickle on a pack bring them to .35 cents. turned out to be one of the best things i ever did for my self. i bought a case of beer for new years and there is 10 or 12 left, i drank 3 or 4 and my wife drank the other 7 or 8 and i,m think about sending her to the bette ford clinic for alkies. mr myopic.
You've got a case of beer sitting around from 1971 ??? [?]

The tax man likes whatever is popular. He could give a hoot about what is good or bad for you...
BINGO!
but it's for the children, so if you don't smoke you must not like children [:D]
If you feel like a leper because you smoke, there's one surefire fix.
Actually, there are two. If you don't choose the first, the second will choose will choose itself.

The AHA is pleased with the FDA?s announcement that it will lower nicotine levels and examine how flavored tobacco product attract young people, but is disappointed with the agency?s decision to delay certain e-cigarette and cigar compliance deadlines. ?Altering the deadline for FDA review of e-cigarettes and cigars is a troubling step and one that we will closely monitor,? says Brown.
