Take Action: Help Fix the Biggest Threat to Pipe Tobacco

[LincolnSnuff]

This isn't just for pipe tobacco enthusiasts, it part of the battle against the anti's which will eventually spill over into snus if we don't work to stop it now.

Pipesmagazine.com is organizing a petition and a slick email system that will automatically mail your Congresspersons and Senators regarding the current issue facing pipe tobacco taxes: a potential 2000% tax increase.

Here is the general situation. (You can research the details if you wish.) Roll-Your-Own (RYO) cigarette tobacco was punished with a 2000% tax increase about a year ago. The RYO companies saw this coming, and re-packaged their product as pipe tobacco. It wasn’t long before anti-tobacco advocates, and tax-hungry government officials figured out that they were losing hundreds of millions of potential tax dollars. Their simple solution - increase the tax on pipe tobacco to bring it in line with RYO and the loophole is closed. There has already been one bill that thankfully died in committee, but a new identical one has already been proposed.

Pipe tobacco could possibly become extinct.

It takes less than 3 minutes to sign the petition and have emails sent to your Representatives. Thank you for helping.

Done and done sir. That is a pretty slick way to let our rep's know they need to think before they vote.

Hey thanks guys. I see something similar happening with snus being lumped in with dip when it comes to tax increases in the future. The petition said "500 letters sent" when I signed it this afternoon and now its already in the low 700's. I also just realized you can share this link via the Facebook button at the top of the petition page if you wish.

Done. I don't smoke a pipe often but we are all in this together. Thanks for sharing that link.

I did it as well. I don't smoke a pipe at all but I am so tired of seeing the government sticking their greedy fingers into every aspect of our lives, especially the use of legal products such as tobacco.

[Owens187]

Done. Even though I dont smoke.

[LincolnSnuff]

Nearly 1000 letters sent to congress so far. Thanks for your help.
