Let me just sort this for a sec- for about a hundred years big tobacco lobbied it’s way to power, even after being exposed in writings and documentaries. They knowingly put arsenic and other poisons IN the tobacco- for no reason, and under the eye of the FDA.
But the problem here, is the teenagers starting to smoke more again. Maybe, they’re being influenced by the growing number of young adults still living at home? Maybe, they decided that if some one else won’t respect their bodies, why should they?
Adding another tax was cited as a possible resolution to the problem. How does that stop teenagers, who cannot buy cigs, from smoking?
The whole debate is ridiculous.
If you really cared, you would demand the companies follow a strict adherence to laws concerning cigarette content.

I went to the city with Mike last night and didn’t come home until 7am.
There are so many stories but I want to match them with pictures, so you will have to wait on me a little longer. However, I will say that the bar Fat Cat looked like it would be a lot of fun if we didn’t have to leave 30 min after we got there to go to Smalls.
And would of been even more fun if it wasn’t packed beyond comfortable capacity full of spoiled hipster douches seriously lacking personal space boundries and manners. But, honestly, being 15 min away from NYU- what can I expect but that?
The actual place is a giant gaming hall with chess, shuffleboard, pool, scrabble tables, bar full of odd tasty (and fucking expensive) beers. I want to try and go back another night when all of New York isn’t trying to drink PBR and sweat on me with little to no legitimate reason as I was tucked into the bar drinking a unbearably sweet Jellyfish. I was literally leaning on one dudes back for 2-3 min, like a bar-cuddle party, except not as sexy as that phrase makes it seem….
Smalls was fun, but again- way to packed, but an older crowd, and a redunkulous cover- $20 and the live Jazz wasn’t my style, but we made a new friend who may or may not be a secret Janitor Millionaire…
