Bulldog_916 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 http://www.hookahforum.com/?showtopic=31218This is probably what you're looking for...It's banning flavored cigarettes and having cigarette companies disclose ingredients in their products, among other things. Some advertising rules. Some of this, some of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinamon Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 what are those camel menthols that you crush the filter to get the menthol flavour?someone told me about them over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbeck Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 The ban has to do with flavored cigarettes (i.e. cotton candy newports) which are obviously intended to seduce young children into smoking. However, in our wonderful state of Illinois we did hear "Hookah" specifically mentioned as a target of this ban and I have varified that there is a push to include hookah/shisha in the "flavored tobacco" category. I doubt hookah will be included, but it is a real possibility on a state by state basis, unlikely on a federal level though. The federal proposal has more to do with advertising and such.Regards,Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Yes, but the legislation onlytalks about flavored cigarettes...it doesn't mention flavored tobacco at all.If the legislation doesn't grant the power to the FDA to ban flavored tobacco, they can't do it. Plain and simple. Nonetheless, we should protest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not joking they are crazy on those warnings that take up half the box!The really hilarious part about it is that people still smoke! They dont care about imagery on the box, they just care that they want a smoke and the cigarettes are in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain and simple. Nonetheless, we should protest...Eric is dead on (go figure). The section pertaining to flavoring is specifically to only mention cigarettes and cigarette parts (filter, etc.), not "tobacco products". Tobacco products does, of course, include all shisha grown and packaged domestically, as well as imported. This certainly sets a precedent to ban or further regulate it down the line.This is terrible legislation. It's ostensibly aimed at keeping cigarette companies from advertising to children, but it also wholly transfers oversight of tobacco production to the FDA. The kids are what sells it, but the purpose is to put the squeeze on tobacco, and to eventually eliminate it. That's how I read it, and I read the whole damn thing today.
