Obama Hates Clove Cigarettes

The prohibition of cigars and cigarettes that don't taste or smell like horse crap. But "it for the children." Give me a break! Philip Morris USA advocated the public policy. Thankfully, they are a bunch of hypocrites who refuse to use the same line of reasoning in an effort to make illegal any and all flavored alcoholic beverages. Banning cloves is bad enough. But banning margaritas, mixed drinks, or Rumple Minze! That would spark a civil war!

so, you say you don't smoke very often, so how many times a week do you smoke?

[paleocrat]

@EthMan09 At the time I made the video I smoked one or two a day, if that. It was almost always a social thing for me. My friends and I would drink, smoke cloves, play guitar, sing songs, and talk about religion and politics until the wee hours of the night. The same holds true even now, though without the late nights.

I used to smoke a pipe years ago. I rather enjoyed that. I am just not a fan of cigarettes. I don't like the taste, the smell, the ash or the butts. Just don't care for it.

@paleocrat wow, sounds like me and my friends, except we've never had cloves up till now. I actually quit smoking not too long ago, but decided I gotta smoke at least one clove "cigar' before i die haha. but i totally agree with you, there are so many things going on in the world and the government decides to attack smokers yet again. I've almost entirely stopped paying attention to the issues now because the government doesn't seem to be doing much to accomplish important tasks

[paleocrat]

@EthMan09 The government is upside-down and all around, but rarely in the right place at the right time for the right reason.

I have gone back-and-forth with tobacco over the years. I enjoy it very much, but rarely find anything I prefer. I won't just smoke to smoke. The clove cigarettes were, along with the pipe, a pleasant exception. The cigars aren't horrible, but they just aren't the same. They aren't all that aromatic either.

I really enjoy electronic cigarettes though. May buy one.

I just started watching your videos today and I just wanted to say that I agree and love the videos!

[paleocrat]

Thank you very much. I am glad you enjoy them. Spread the word about the site. My Mac was stolen, so I am working on a comp without a video cam for podcast program. I may be buying a cam today. Expect more very soon.

Do you mind me asking which you like better: religious/apologetics or politics? Both?

Just saw your video, and even though it's old news, i still enjoy hearing your opinion.

I saw you mentioned gay marriage... I couldn't distinguish whether you were for or against it. Do you mind elaborating?

[skulldrix]

Teenagers still smoke. I'm 14, and I don't give a shit. Menthol, is what we do man.

@paleocrat one of my friends has the e cig, he likes it, he decided it wasn't a bad choice since in vermont, the cigarette taxes keep going up like crazy, so the e cig is a bit cheaper in the long run. i have also gone back and forth between smoking and non smoking, my lover doesn't like that i do it, but it's something that I enjoy and am also addicted to. i just hate being an every day smoker, so I've stopped for about a week now.
