Gents, if you are from Pennsylvania, do us all a favor and write, call, and badger your state reps and legislators to not allow this unconstitutional malarkey from going through!

Didn't mean to distract from a very important topic. Lack of involvement in the political process is what allows the career tyrants to keep pushing their agenda. Thank you for posting this. I do hope that we will all speak up. If we don't, there is no one to blame for lost liberties but ourselves.
He has to finish his punishment and then he will be worthy of reinstatement and only then. Do not get yourself in a jamb buy trying to use blackmail my friend for he truly deserves his sentence and it has too be served for him to learn his lesson.

He will be returned when his time is up, fear not, for we have good moderators and he spoke more than once with one and understands his point exactly.

Listen to this man folks for he is no troll, he is the real deal with a message that affects us all and needs the attention of everyone who enjoys tobacco.
Lesson here:
Do not disrespect the people in power for that will bring wrath and as I stated rbeckom deserved what he got!
Try to forget the negative and concentrate on this problem for it affects us all. Not to mention all who come after us, all the workers that would eventually loose their jobs, the growers, makers and the list goes on and on.
I hope I cleared the air here and put things in the right context for people to really understand the problem at hand and what it means to us all because if it passes there other states would be quick to jump on such a movement. You have my full support. I would hate to here that Georgia would be the next state to follow in what can only be deemed as a ridiculous move for we all pay taxes when we work and then we pay taxes again when we buy our cigars and I think this in itself should have pacified the people we elected, a fact that they seem to have forgotten, we elected them!
Why so defensive though? Why such a harsh tone? This is far from what I've come to expect from those representing ccom.
Please stay your words my friend, they will only add fuel to a fire that has burned itself out already. Think on the positive side of things and let us all get behind this cause for it affects us all.
It doesn't look good. ROFL!
but back on topic, my city and county just enacted this kind of ban. Doesn't have much effect since we don't have any smoke shops anyway, but i still disapprove. I supported the smoking ban in bars because there are folks who drink but don't smoke and that isn't a bars sole reason for existing, but a smoke shop? Who goes to a smoke shop and bitches about second hand smoke? That's like going to a winery and complaining about having to listen to pompous a-holes.
Even though this particular ban does not effect them (c.com), the anti people just need a foot in the door, before they try to ban all tobacco products. I'm just sayin'...
They've managed to ban workplaces, streets, parks, beaches and everything else so far.
Why should they stop there. Cigar bars shouldn't be smoking bars.
Cause we all know that they are only a bar and that people that frequent cigar bars are non-smokers and might be harmed by all the cigar smoke.
They must protect us from ourselves, cause we can't think for ourselves and could cause ourselves harm.
