FDA Regs Affecting Pipe Tobacco

[Branzig]

The vape industry is big. Lots of people in that community are going to fight this. They may have the time, money, and resources to attack head on. Cigars as well.

Sadly, pipers are such a small community, I don't know if we stand a chance.

Of course, the best plan of action is for all 3 industries to ban together and form a coalition. We will see if that happens.

Fun fact! One of the biggest lobbyist groups pushing for this to go through belongs to ooooooo RJ Reynolds. They're sick of losing revenue to fake "RYO" pipe tobaccos, and they want them gone. Less cheap RYO, more cigarette sales.

RJ also want Internet sales gone-zo as well.

It's just like the beer industry. Make it too expensive for the smaller companies to compete....Our forefathers would be shitting their pants.....
