I now order my tobacco and cigarette tubes on line and make my own. It comes out to about #10.00 a carton instead of the $45.00 that is now charged here. I don't think there is near the chemicals in the ones I make and smoke. I forgot my cigarettes a few weeks ago and as I was spending the day in town I broke down and bought a store bought pack. They were terrible. If someone has the need to smoke making your own is the way to go. I have cut back to less than a pack a day so maybe I can lay them down one day. It's a nasty terrible habit.<br /><br />Papa Bear does not smoke but does his share of drinking that 55 gallon drum of soda a year. Me...I can leave those things alone. Just give me my water,coffee and iced tea!Mamma Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781533611079940480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978488915630500345.post-17027531541676815232011-10-03T04:36:43.795-05:002011-10-03T04:36:43.795-05:00I am sure there is a wheat variety for that climat...I am sure there is a wheat variety for that climate but what it would be is I haven't a clue.<br /><br />As for a fat tax. Two (or more) wrongs don't make a right but it isn't any less wrong than taxing other health choices as they do. I have always thought it funny that the smokers at work are charged an extra $120.00 a year while the 55 gallon drum soda drinkers get away without an extra charge.PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.com
