[tommymyturn]

lmao..... didnt tobacco get introduced to the " white " man by aboriginal people?.....

[Qulopuaa]

@tommymyturn Yea, but europens must have been smoking something else before but christianity just killed all such alike-just wonder how much been lost over here to those guys

[Qulopuaa]

anyway chief -smoking is evil as any other drug.Sell milk insted or grow crops and stop the whining

[tommymyturn]

@Qulopuaa on our rez we do grow crops... and do raise cattle... tobacco fields are great cash crops... just under weed crops... but weed is illegal ....

[Qulopuaa]

@tommymyturn .Anyway a big deal that growing overhere that the food thats sold are genetically poor, There should be a great market for "old" plants and sorties since you actually can get a full stomach on those and go healthy but you cant with steroidwater-carrots and other enpovered plantfood-I would always buy from a such place that had those but everyhing is just really bad vegetables now and worse to come I fear.

[tommymyturn]

@Qulopuaa I'm not sure what you're getting at, but ummm ok....

[Qulopuaa]

@tommymyturn .Its not about drugs or tobacco, its about all the depleted(poor) food that is grown becuase they deliver the biggest crop thus because its cheap for the industry to sell as the real thing. I dont think you got the awareness in US but thats ok for me.

[tommymyturn]

@Qulopuaa yea i agree the us isnt very aware of such things.... here in manitoba.... it has been the flooding every spring that has had the largest impact on these food crops... and prices arent cheap.... but i myself am from southern Ontario where tobacco is a major source of income for my reserve....

When you take the government out the picture the free market starts working.

I don't care if taxpayers smoke their brains out but don't they have to pay higher premiums with their healthcare providers.

If they lie about smoking its an out for the insurance companies.

In Canada all smokers are covered ? That's how stupid government run healthcare is.

[ktchong]

For whatever reason, much fewer people smoke in Canada than in the U.S.

[boots920]

My buddy the smoker has already cost the system 750,000 dollars in just over a year.

The idiot doctors almost did him in with prescription drugs.

The federal government can't keep up with costs in the end I believe we'll end up with nothing.

That's the true spirit of government.. Tax the living daylight out of anything..

It will only make smuggling more and more appealing.
