Re: wtf????

Thanks Tellie and Donn....

Donn - Everyone is sold out. It appears that I am the only one that didn't know about this. According to the folks/clerks I got on the horn at the local retail places around here - everyone has been stocking up.

Tellie - I called the number. They are out. I was told that they may be getting more and that all they had to do was change the label. This is bogus. What is happening though.................

This is a ban on "flavored cigarettes" - that just by chance exempts menthol (does that suprise anyone? U.S. Tobacco companies produce too many of those for them to be banned).

What Djarum is doing is now making similar type clove "cigars". The wrapper on the tobacco is different. But there is talk that the FDA has wide lattitude in this bill to ban products trying to beat the rap, so to speak, on a technicality.

The "reason" for the ban..............

Young kids are "drawn" to these flavored cigarettes and they are considered "trainer" cigarettes.... Like marijuana is considered a "gateway" drug. Never mind the fact they are less then 1% of the market.... and contain none of the additives that "regular" smokes produced by the big tobacco companies have.

Tellie - Your site was an American one. And it didn't pan out. But I did change my google search because of this to see if other American sites might still have some in stock. Came across an E-bay listing. The guy is forced to advertise it there as just the box, no cigarettes. Contacted him - he has 15 cases left. Each case has ten packs of 16 cigarettes. Just bought 12 cases. Will be enough to keep me happy for a very long time, so thanks for the inspiration........
