Growing baccy plants is easy (My Dad, his Dad and his Dad have grown 1000s of kilos of the weed for years) Problem is making it smokable, ie doesnt keep going out, burning too fast and without filters your throat and lungs will take a hammering. Need to add chemicals to control burning. I know I have tried to smoke the stuff from Dads shed, 3 or 4 and you feel like you do after a night on the piss where you smoked 40 taylors.	prefect (6291)

Surely its about peoples health and not money? :waughh: Funny ain't it, If there weren't a billion dollar industry and trillions to be collected in taxes it would have been outlawed years ago. Look at the other evil weed.....	Metla (12)
851431	2010-02-01 00:53:00	Let's get off the cigarettes topic shall we? Think about this: If she'd said let's tax Alcohol to pay for my fat removal, would you be as happy? Or let's just tax incomes more, so she and other fatties can get an operation instead of eating less. Which is the whole point. Not cigarettes and their evils.	pctek (84)

If they ever ban smoking they will legalise cannabis, it'll generate them even more money! There is a cycle here... Motorcycles and the ACC, Smokers for the diabetics. It's not going to stop. WHO IS NEXT? Personally, if they banned smoking I would stop. If they raised prices very few smokers would. It's all just a pretext. Smokers have become a minority, they are an easy target. Almost everyone drinks, any tax hike would see too many people pissed off. These pricks would legalise P if they could find a reasonable excuse, it will earn them plenty of $$$.	Cato (6936)

That aside, I'm pretty sure there are tax rises on both tobacco and alcohol every year.	Metla (12)

Typical reaction of a smoker is link smoking with alcohol, driving a car, eating wrong sorts of food or doing anything dangerous. Anything but admitting they are an addict and that smoking is wrong with a capital W. I do confess I smoked in the seventies.	prefect (6291)

How is smoking linked with alcohol, driving, eating wrong sorts of food is beyond me. You drink alcohol too, right? Do you drive too? I'd wager you've had more takeaways than me in the last 3 years. Doing something dangerous? What are you on about mate?	Cato (6936)
