June 22 - No more swag...

I do not consider standard snus as flavored, I see them as seasoned. Flavor is like cherry, vanilla etc.

About swag, I have noticed on the Copenhagen website, sometimes they offer stuff like a hat, but it doesn't even say Copenhagen on it, nothing, so I passed.

It's the new 4th Reich, except this time, it's regressing the nation.

Doesn't matter which party is in the White House or controls Congress -- the marching orders still come from Wall Street.

That may be true in general but if so those marching orders are presently being filtered through the economic naivete' of the leftist academy resulting in a legislative synergy characterized by the worst aspects of both and the merits of neither.

Yes, and no, they did rework them as cigars and they are now legal.

Yea, I guess my point was that the FDA saw them as flavored, even though a case could be made that they are "seasoned".

Somewhere, a Swedish Match exec just wrote that down.

Well, even the American dips, like Natural, such as Copenhagen are seasoned, more than flavored. More people in the US use dip than snus, and they are backed by the big tobacco companies.

YES! And don't even get me started...

I'm so glad the f...ing government knows whats best for us and controls what we do so we don't hurt ourselves or anyone around us anymore.

<...insert "Save a Tree" speech here...>

Thank you Obama, Pelosi, and Mr. Reed for putting so many protections in place and looking out for us and our best interests in mind!

[chadizzy1]

Obama could make Hitler popular.

[danielan]

YES! And don't even get me started...

I agree with the sentiment, but don't let your Republican senators and representatives off the hook for what they supported. Check out the voting on PACT and the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act:
