So NS has forbidden the sale of "flavoured tobacco products". The
theory is, presumably, that bubble-gum flavoured cigarettes will
attract teeny-boppers to tobacco and that teenagers will think it's
groovy to smoke "rum-soaked, wine-dipped" cigars because they're too
young to drink.
The result has been the disappearance of *all* pipe tobacco from
stores. Not just "Cherry blend" or rum- or whiskey-flavoured
varieties but all of it. Hey, the best pipe tobacco isn't flavoured
with *anything* added, it just gets its flavor and aroma from the way
it's cured. WTF?
And ubyl by'wrfhf shpx, no self-respecting teenager or PFY would be
caught dead smoking a pipe unless it had pot or hash (or maybe crack)
in it. This just whacks we'uns old geezers up side the head. I may
have to hold my nose and vote for a Conservative next time, the sooner
the better. If they can roll back gun registry, they can roll this
back, too. Shpx.
Where's that coven of nutter right-wing extremists that wants to
strangle government and bury it quietly in the back yard when we need
them?
